We have a winner for my first book drawing! The book was Good to Great: Why Some Companies Make the Leap… and Others Don’t [2]
My next drawing is in two weeks and the book I’ll be giving away is The 4-Hour Workweek: Escape 9-5, Live Anywhere, and Join the New Rich [3]
Now for the links!
Jeff from My Supercharged Life [5] wrote a very inspirational post on building a better life through a commitment to continuous, incremental improvements [6]. It’s the continuous part that most people have trouble with!
The Frugal Dad [7] helps you teach compounding interest to your kids [8]. This is a great idea and it doesn’t cost too much, either.
Madison from My Dollar Plan has a list of 30 money saving tips [9]. Here’s a peek: one reader used auto-debit for her loans and received a rate decreasee of a quarter of a percent. Since that is compounded money it is worth a lot more than you might think.
David from The Good Human has a great article on avoiding unhealthy seafood.
Steve from brip blap wrote a two piece report on 15 reason you might [10] and then 15 reasons you might not [11] want to be a consultant. Since consulting is a direction I would like to go myself, I thought these were both great posts. Thank you, Steve.
Patrick from Cash Money Life [12] wrote a cautionary post onpaying your taxes with a credit card [13]. It has it’s pros and cons. Read Patrick’s article before you take the leap though.
JLP at All Financial Matters [14] gave us his thoughts on the current housing mess [15]. All Financial Matters [14] was recently awarded “Most Sensible Money Blog [16] by CNN Money, so read his common sense approach!
Silicon Valley Blogger has a sensible post on investing defensively in a down market [17]. These are some very useful tips. My favorite: #6 Make a bet and invest [18] in defensive sectors. But then, my risk tolerance is way higher than most!
Ryan at Uncommon Cents [19] reminds us how great new technology can be [20] when we forget one simple little item.
