So I’m hunting for a condo now here in Seattle. Being tech oriented, I am using the new Redfin service to find a place. I looked on Mercer Island this weekend. The place was over priced, and using Zillow I found that the place was bought in November 2005. They renovated and now want 70k more than they bought it for. It also is over priced by that much compared to the other condos in the complex. I decided to pass.

Now I’m looking in Kirkland and Bellevue. More to come as I continue my hunt for the right place.

Its back!!! Yes I have come up with another fabulous way to blow that hard earned bonus or tax return. Just in time for spring how about checking out a little high quality auto racing in the principality of Monaco. All the details are below:

The Monaco Grand Prix is the most historic and prestigious road race in the world, drawing thousands of visitors to the fairy-tale Mediterranean destination of Monaco. We have exclusive access to take part in all the glamorous action of Grand Prix weekend (May 25th-28th) from aboard a luxury mega-yacht in Monaco’s legendary harbor.

This once-in-a-lifetime experience offers five-star luxury services aboard a 200-foot private yacht moored in the harbor for the four days and nights surrounding the Grand Prix. Each day guests will enjoy exquisite cuisine, unlimited on-board hospitality and spa services, exclusive celebrity parties and designer events, and of course, all the exciting racing action of the Grand Prix. A nightly evening reception includes open bar, dancing, a buffet dinner, and celebrity DJ each night until 3:00am. This is the perfect opportunity to experience one of the world’s most celebrated luxury events with an unparalleled level of style and access.

The four-day, all-inclusive experience costs USD 15,000 per couple. Overnight accommodations in Monaco’s luxurious hotels can be arranged, as well, for an additional cost.

Okay Okay so I went a bit over budget, but come on, fast cars, crazy parties and a yacht, are you thinking what I am thinking?

In the first of what will be a continuing series of posts I examine great ways to blow the 10 grand bonus you just got as part of your annual review. Up first, the Classic Car Club of Manhattan.

In the words of the owners “Buying a million dollars worth of cars is a tough job, but Zac, Phil and I took one on the chin for you.” The Classic Car Club of Manhattan allows access to some of the greatest cars ever built as well as membership into a swanky private lounge. Cars include 1965 AC Shelby Cobra, 2005 Lotus Elise HRM Edition and the 1957 Porsche Speedster as well as many others. If you just absolutely need to ride in style then these guys are for you. For a set annual fee they take care of all of the business end so all you have to do is pay for gas and burn rubber.
