February's Best of FIRE Finance - 2014

Edit Post Thursday, March 6, 2014

Mar 06, 2014: In Latin, "Februm" means purification. February was named after Februm because of the purification ritual Februa held on February 15th in the old Roman calendar. Some historical names for February are Solmonath (mud month) and Kale-monath (named for cabbage) as well as Charlemagne's designation Hornung.

In Finnish, it is called "Helmikuu", meaning "Month of the Pearl." During this time when snow melts on tree branches, it forms droplets which freeze again and appear like pearls of ice and hence the Finnish name :). The flowers of this month are violet and primrose.

@Richard:
Thanks for visiting. We liked your blog, keep up the good work.

I financed a car. I signed a contract, paid the downpayment in the manner the dealership finance officers prescribed and drove off with the car. Now they want more money, in a different way or they threaten to pick up the car. I'm sure this is a common story and it also involves my original salesperson being fired, "hearsay" the likes of which would stagger an orator, getting repeated phone calls from many different people all with a different story, etc. I like the car and as I said, I signed the contract, paid the money and drove off with the subject of the contract. I'm imagining if they pick the car up that such is theft. Regardless, they tell me today I have to go into the dealership Sat. to "fix the deal"
