Personal Finance Reads The Simple Dollar: Trent shares his personal productivity tips and I see that we do some of the same things such as keeping a notebook handy for ideas. I also use a daily planner for my activities, exercise to try to wake up in the morning (afternoon exercises wipe me out!) and [...] ... (more)

Cartoon by Mark Fiore There’s a general ongoing trend that has been simmering for quite sometime now. No, it’s not global warming though it’s also a global matter: it’s the “Buy America” trend, which you’ll note through stories like the following. In this New York Times article, Overseas Investors Buy Aggressively in U.S, we see that [...] ... (more)

We have an interest in diversifying into real estate at some point in the future. More than a few friends and family members have gotten themselves involved one time or another as real estate investors, so there’s quite a pool of experience there to draw and hear from in case we ever get serious [...] ...

Sorry, I haven’t been that active with carnivals lately but that hasn’t stopped me from visiting them and catching a few articles of interest. I really should get back to joining the carnival crowd at some point but I’ve been pretty short on time lately. We’ll see how it goes! Anyway, here are some [...] ... (more)

Here’s someone who’s really depressed. Somehow I caught wind of a You Tube video that presents a massive rant by a young guy who reminded me somewhat of my bro-in-law in appearance and investment philosophy . Of course, I haven’t had the experience of witnessing my brother (as I would call my in-law) go [...] ... (more)

Okay, this is the first time I’ve heard this type of thing, but apparently, today is the worst and most depressing day of the year. Chuck it up to an agglomeration of factors that come together to make us feel like crap. There’s a guy named Dr. Cliff Arnall, a known researcher from [...] ... (more)

As I constructed my reading list this week, I must say that there was one article that I thought deserved a bit more attention. Kudos to The Sun’s Financial Diary and Free Money Finance for bringing to light one of the single most important personal finance articles you should read, at least in my [...] ... (more)

How to keep your moving costs down: first make sure you hire reputable movers! A few weeks ago I had a writeup about the true costs of relocating. It turns out that it can cost upwards of $10,000 to move to a new town. When I moved from a 4 bedroom home in one [...] ... (more)

What has Michael Jackson got to do with my money? I’m in a retrospective mood, so I thought I’d share with you a couple of stories about my earliest experiences in the stock market. There’s been such a stark juxtaposition between some of these experiences that I thought it was well worth discussing. When [...] ... (more)

Our conservation plan is working. Our gas and electric bill is down 25% from last year! We’ve recently found out how successful our plan was to replace a couple of ailing appliances that we inherited from the former owners of our home. Some couple of decades old, one appliance was our standard white fridge [...] ... (more)

Peer to peer lending, person to person lending or social lending… everyone’s suddenly talking about it. Everywhere I look around the blogosphere, there’s someone talking about the peer-to-peer lending industry. It’s an interesting space that has recently been picking up steam and getting noticed. With the credit markets under a lot of pressure these [...] ... (more)

My guest post for today has come to you by way of The Investor’s Journal, a blog written by Adam Freedman, a self-taught, young investor (in his early 20’s) who began investing in the stock market in 2005 upon opening an account with TD Ameritrade and who’s been studying and learning all he can about [...] ...

The northeastern U.S. had 70 degree weather while we had some cold storms recently. The skies have been crazy. It’s been quite a bit of time since I did a carnival roundup. I was overwhelmed over the holidays and had to skip out on a lot of the carnival festivities for a while. [...] ... (more)

I had a similar piece up at the Prosper Blog a while back but I wanted to touch on this topic further. Nothing earth-shatteringly new here, just common sense. Photo by Mary Hetts I get a lot of questions from readers who ask about what they should do about their mounting debt. A few of [...] ... (more)

Right now, I’m pretty much out of sorts with a bad cold and with iffy weather upon us in the West Coast, I’m not going to take the risk of going outside. I was much more adventurous many years ago and exposed myself to the elements while recovering from the flu and instead caught [...] ... (more)

Someone in my family is picking up stakes and moving his family clear across the world to be closer to his in-laws. He’s also doing it because he thinks he’ll have better job prospects in a new country. Somehow, I’m not too convinced that it’s a good move, especially since he and his [...] ... (more)

What I’ve read recently seems to support my own observations: that most people aren’t doing too well with their stock market investments. There could be a variety of reasons for this, including: Personal beliefs: The stock market is for gamblers! Complicated behaviors: I’m having too much fun trading my bucks away. Buy high, sell low. Lack [...] ... (more)

A stretch? Of course I’m pulling your leg with this post title, but if you read on, you may find some semblance of truth somewhere in there… This is the time when everyone declares what their goals are for the coming year, so I figure I’ll join the crowd on this one. [...] ... (more)

Who knew that we could actually save money while paying our bills? That’s not all — our bill-paying habits can actually be costing us some extra bucks if we’re not careful. So depending on what kind of bill pay system we’re using (if we have one at all!), we could be inadvertently contributing [...] ... (more)
