Guest Post over at Make Love Not Debt and Good Reads
Sep 19th, 2008 by Nut
I have a guest post running over at Make Love Not Debt, a great blog about personal finance and its effects on relationships. The site is a great niche for newlyweds like myself and for those about to take the leap. It’s run by a couple whose actually getting married and going on their honeymoon right now — so it’s cool getting the dual perspective like that.
My post is called “Mine vs. Ours — A Newleyweds’ Case Study” and it’s about how tough it is to get used to sharing all the things that used to me “mine” and are now “ours.” Check it out and make sure to peruse their site as well, they’ve got some good content over there.
And a Couple Good Reads
Also, check out these articles I enjoyed this past week:
- A nice, concise article that isn’t all fluff and doom-and-gloom. It’s just a straight-up explanation of what’s happening right now and what caused it. He mentions Buffett and links to a shareholder letter he wrote in 2003 where he pretty much called the derivative mess that’s happening right now. If you haven’t read much of Buffett’s letters, you really should. He’s great.
- This is one of those “it’s about time” kind of things. The US treasury is going to launch an education program to teach kids about credit. Finally. Too bad it takes a collapse of the markets due to out-of-control leverage for kids to finally be taught this stuff.
- Here’s a very clear explanation of all the things that have happened in this most-recent financial mess from the always reliable and entertaining Freakonomics blog.
