In preparing to write my posts, I often come across noteworthy and sometimes bizarre financial and business news. Below are links to some of these sites. Enjoy!
I am especially appreciative to the Skilled Investor for hosting the Carnival of Financial Planning. I am happy that our Pain of Paying Cash was accepted into this carnival. I found another post from this carnival pretty interesting: 8 Money Principles to Stay Debt Free.
Also, our Dishonorable New Exit Strategy for Desperate Homeowners was accepted The Pain of Paying Cash was also featured in the Money Hacks carnival, hosted at The Financial Blogger.One notable article I particularly liked was Why Most Doctors Are Not Rich (also read Millionaire Next Door for more Discussion). Another good post from this carnival was Blockbuster vs. Netflix.
To my readers: I am so honored by your support. Thank you for reading, subscribing, and for voting for articles from this site on social bookmarketing sites such as stumbleupon, reddit, delicious, digg, propeller, and yahoo buzz. Together, we are telling thousands of the importance of financial literacy. I absolutely could not do it without you. You are vital this this site, and I appreciate your help so much! Thanks.
