See our advertising policy. Rich E. Obscure's contribution to personal finance books is now available! September 28, 2006 I haven't been posting for a while since Papa Obscure died. He didn't know about this site, my alter ego. He didn't know about the book I've written (whether or not it's any good). What he did know was how much he meant to me. He knew that I'm doing just fine and I hope he knew that he (and Mama Obscure) was the reason why.MORE.
September 19, 2006 This isn't what I intended on writing today but I couldn't help myself. After reading over 1,000 words written by Robert Kiyosaki I was left feeling completely empty. There was nothing there. They might as well have been 1,000 random words. MORE.
September 18, 2006 We're all afraid of something and overcoming that fear is what makes us stronger. Don't let your fear of words or difficult methods keep you from getting control of your finances.MORE.
September 15, 2006 As an investor you can either take an active approach or a passive one. Not having enough success as an active investor I switched to passive investing and have done much better. Part of my frustration was that I felt damned if I bought and damned if I sold. MORE.
September 14, 2006 I've often driven in tony neighborhoods and wondered two things: 1. what do these people do for a living and 2. can I apply? Well, Ryan D'Agostino in Money Magazine, did just that stopping in some very wealthy neighborhoods and knocking on people's doors to find out how the heck they got where they are. MORE.
September 12, 2006 The Festival of Frugality is being hosted this week by Get Rich Slowly and I am one of many contributors. Definately worth checking out. I also have a post at the ever popular Carnival of Personal Finance being hosted this week by No Credit Needed. As always a great source of useful information.
September 12, 2006 When spending money remind yourself that deserve has nothing to do with it. I might deserve a Bentley Continental GT but at over $300,000 I can't afford it. MORE.
September 9, 2006 One of my main reasons for first visiting a financial advisor was to simplify my finances. As usual for someone of my generation, I had worked several jobs and each one offered retirement savings plans, in my case 401(k)s. In addition to that I had several bank accounts and brokerage accounts that I wanted to consolidate. In short I was starting to get confused.MORE.
September 7, 2006 I feel good today because none other than the NYSE agrees with me. Today the NYSE is issuing a publication spelling out risks associated with investing in ETFs. To see what risks they're talking about continue here.
September 6, 2006 As I begin to write this I realize how broad the subject of taking chances really is. What do I want this article to be about? Am I talking about taking the chance in regards to buying stocks, asking someone out on a date (a bad idea since I'm married), starting a business, going back to school, or maybe all of those? MORE.
September 5, 2006 I'm a big fan of numbers, don't get me wrong but I think that sometimes there can be too much emphasis on numbers and not enough on life. You aren't doing youself any favors by tracking the amount of debt on your credit cards if you continue spending money like you have it. MORE

April 13, 2006: Inflation is running rampant but I'm not talking about money. I'm not talking about price inflation. I'm talking about an expectation inflation. What's that? I'll explain. MORE. 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.
