How I Will Be Rich

Last week was a rough week for my blog. There was a lot going on here in San Diego. To make up for it, I’m going to pick some of my favorite posts from over the last two weeks. When I finally got to reading my RSS reader, I had something like 500 posts to sift through. Here’s what I found:

• Brip Blap has a very interesting article entitled, “Follow the White Rabbit to Financial Freedom.” It basically discusses personal finance but with a Matrix theme. It’s a fun idea.
• Consumerism Commentary gives 5 Tips For Unexpected Job Loss. Some good tips to always have in your back pocket… Just in case…
• Financial Hack gives you 117 Reasons You Shouldn’t Be Reading This. Sort of counterintuitive for running a successful blog… It’s about procrastination with all sorts of great quotes.
• FreeMoneyFinance has Money Saving Tips For the Entire Family. Who couldn’t use some extra money advice. That’s why we all read these sites…
• Generation X Finance discussed the statement “You Don’t Need To Save Money – Just Use the Equity in Your Home.” Basically, the article discusses why it’s not a good statement to be making.
• There is a guest post over at Get Rich Slowly called “Understanding the 7 Habits of Wealth.” It’s a great article about the virtues needed to build wealth.
• Finance is Personal asks Are You Getting Paid What You’re Worth? Isn’t this something everyone wants to know?
  
• I’ve Paid For This Twice Already discusses The Financial Incentives to Being Healthy. I’ve got to post about this, seeing as I also help run a health website. Health and Finance in one post… A Great read.
• I Will Teach You to Be Rich wrote an interesting post called “Look How Men’s and Women’s Magazines Write About Money.” Definitely worth a read.
• Lazy Man and Money talks about Saving Money by Making Your Own Beer. I’ve always wanted to do this but have never really gotten around to trying it.
• Mighty Bargain Hunter has 8 Ways to Invest in Yourself. There are some good ideas here to help make you more money, healthier and happier.
• Moolanomy discusses Choosing the Right Tool For the Job. When setting up various savings plans, you want to make sure you are using the right tools.
• Stock Trading To Go gives you 8 Ways to Fight Stress From the Stock Market. And yes, it is often very stressful. Follow some of this advice.
• Money Smart Life discusses How to Work Extremely Hard and Get Nothing Done. Try not to do that.
• Simply Thrifty has 50 Do It Yourself Halloween Ideas. Fun idea, given the season.
• The Digerati Life discusses retiring early in her post, “Ready to Retire Right Now? Find Out if it’s Time to Quit the Rat Race.”
• The Frugal Law Student gives 13 Ways To Kill A Cold Without Killing Your Budget. I’ve been battling a cold now for a little over a week… So this seemed appropriate.
• The Simple Dollar talks about Preserving The Things That Money Can’t Buy. This article was especially relevant to me, given the fact that a natural disaster just swept through my city.
• The Ririan Project gives a list on How to Be Frugal Without Being Cheap. This site constantly puts out quality content. They are typically articles on health but here’s a great one on frugality.
  
• Young and Broke discusses Financial Basics – What’s a Bond? A great quick read for a new investor who wants to know about bonds.

So that’s my, extra long, list for the week. Those are the articles I’ve found over the past 2 weeks that I really enjoyed. Post comments. Let me know what you think.

Enjoy,
