Notes from the Artists Homestead
Experiments in Living
Here is the next in the series of republished old Art Calendar Magazine articles with updated commentary. This time around I don’t feel like I have much to add in terms of updating. It’s basically talking about an approach I used to help stay fully conscious of my spending so I wouldn’t waste it on … Continue reading “Perceived Value of Money – AC9 Financial Management Article”
Once again its been too long since I’ve posted a new blog entry and I’ve also been failing to get all the old Art Calendar financial management articles up with their updated commentary.

Continuing the series of republishing the old Art Calendar articles with updated commentary here is the 5th one looking at the power of a wall chart and some things that flow from this. Though I didn’t specifically note it in the original article, leaving it as implied from previous articles, I feel like I should … Continue reading “AC5 – Wall Charts, Savings Buffers, and Knowing When to Quit the Day Job”
It’s been far too long since I’ve made a new blog post here. Partially my excuse is that I’ve been doing a lot of work rebuilding my davidhuang.org site. In particular I’m quite happy with the new page documenting the making of a complex vessel from start to finish. If you haven’t seen that you … Continue reading “AC7 – Transportation”

Now with a couple decades of hindsight … Continue reading “AC4 – Where Does All the Money Go”
Continuing to transfer from my davidhuang.org website, with updated notes, my old financial management articles written for the art business magazine, Art Calendar, here is the third one looking at housing.

Continuing to transfer from my davidhuang.org website, with updated notes, my old financial management articles written for the art business magazine, Art Calendar, here is the second one focusing on your real hourly wage. I feel like this is a very powerful conceptual tool for getting a handle on ones finances while also gaining a … Continue reading “AC2 – Your Real Hourly Wage”
Very soon I am going to be moving my davidhuang.org website to a new platform and hosting server. It’s not that I really want to do this. It’s more that the software it is running on is SO old, out of date, and no longer supported that it’s going to break as soon as the … Continue reading “AC1 – Making a Living”
What’s for dinner? It seems like a simple enough question, yet the answer to it can have profound impacts on my personal economy, my health, my energy use, and our overall environment, not to mention the living capital of my little homestead. So it’s a question I’ve been putting more thought and effort into, trying … Continue reading “What’s for Dinner?”
