Brand New Post Coming Thursday Nov 5:

Are Wealthy People Dishonest?

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 have participated in the Carnival of Financial Planning 112 ed hosted at Zach Stocks and 110 ed hosted by Intelligent Speculator. Two posts were included: The Rich Get Poorer and Should You Buy a House Outright? Thanks for including my posts in your carnivals.

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, twitter, 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.
