January 19, 2007 Debt and keeping up with the Joneses is not a problem only of the poor or middle class, it's apparently also something the rich deal with. There is a big difference however between their approach to debt and most people's approach to debt. This difference can be summed up with a quote from a WSJ article (paid subscription required). "My litmus test is, if I can't pay it back in a worst-case scenario, I don't borrow." MORE.
January 9, 2007 A new year is here and even for those of us who don't resolve anything in particular, it's a good time to plan, as many things, such as your income and vacation time, reset. What readers of this site are most concerned with is money because this, more than any other thing, affects so many aspects of our lives. MORE.
January 2, 2007 I have some pent-up posts that I've been too busy to write recently. I'm not one of these bloggers who feels they have to write every day or that you care about every thought I have but when I have something on topic I'll let you know. From an article on assett allocation to the need for resolve no matter what time of year it is, to dangerous and stupid loans, there is plenty of financial news on my mind. I'm continuing my plan to change careers and become a financial planner. I'll have updates as the class material gives me inspiration or certain milestones are reached. For instance I've completed the first of five modules and so far my grade is an A. If any of these topics are interesting to you then please do subscribe to my feed. I look forward to the new year and new posts.

April 6, 2006: Do catch phrases work for you? Check out my feelings about Jim Cramer and his Boo-Yah catch phrase. March 24, 2006: I’ve heard it said that if you quote Shakespear people will think you’re smart. Well these days it seems that all you have to do is mention Warren Buffet and people will think you are some kind of an financial expert. November 15, 2005: A recent NY Times article captures my sentiments about personal finance books October 26, 2005: After a vacation and brief illness (so early in the season) I'm back. And inspired by my vacation is this post on The Good Life. October 26, 2005: Appearances can be deceiving. I learned this while shopping on Rodeo Drive.
