December 22, 2007 at 11:44 am ET How generous have you been this year? Apparently, your genes have something to do with it!
One of my favorite children’s books of all time is the Giving Tree, a story about true altruism and love. We’ve had it ever since someone gave it to us as a gift for one of my kids, and we love reading it often, at bedtime.
The story made me think of other examples of altruism, such as good samaritans in today’s world, who risk a lot to help others. Or even the moves some of the big billionaires have made to give ... (more) Thursday, December 20, 2007 From The Digerati Life - view blog entries - visit this blog

December 18, 2007 at 11:38 am ET Profiling debt through some personal debt and bankruptcy stories.
I agree with the analogy that shedding one’s debt is so much like shedding pounds: the more you have of it, the tougher it gets!

December 13, 2007 at 11:03 am ET The evolution and education of a long-term investor.
I often hear about horror stories regarding people who’ve made big mistakes trying to invest their hard earned money.

December 11, 2007 at 10:23 am ET All you ever wanted to know about how to shop for groceries.
Photo by Robert Wechsler
How much do you spend on groceries? The answer varies depending on where you live, how many people you live with, and what your buying patterns are and can range from a very thrifty $50 a month per head in the most frugal American households to a more typical $150 a month per person or even to a more extravagant $300 and higher a month, per head. You may cringe at thousand dollar grocery bills for your typical family of four but they’re ... (more) Monday, December 10, 2007 From The Digerati Life - view blog entries - visit this blog
