November 8, 2008 Link Payday
We’re almost back on schedule! I actually considered doing this on the fifth to really get us back on track, but I wanted to complete my three post series on September, October, and the market bottom question. Anyway, let’s take a look at some of the best of the personal finance blogosphere over the last couple of weeks:
Trent at The Simple Dollar discusses Earning Regular Income from Stock Investing via Dividends. I’m very high on dividends myself (although I am concerned that the tax advantages that currently exist for dividends are going away as the government looks for more tax revenue), so I love to read about them.
Moolanomy discusses how to Teach Your Children the Four Pillars of Money Management. As a parent educator in my spare time, we have a whole two hour session dedicated to budgeting and finance and I often discuss the importance of talking to children about money and using an allowance to teach them about money. Anything we can do to increase the financial literacy of children is something I’m all for!
My buddy Ron over at The Wisdom Journal talks about The Myth of Self Discipline. As a guy who tries whatever he can to be consistent and disciplined, knowing I already have it helps me to exercise it. I’m not as far along as I’d like to be, but I don’t think anyone is ever as far along as they’d like to be.
Spilling Buckets comments on John Bogle’s Morningstar video interview when Bogle Says Enough. John Bogle is one of my favorite figures in the personal finance world, and his groundbreaking work at Vanguard has offered ordinary people–like me–the chance to invest in ways unheard of before. His views and his words are very much in line with my own.
Finally, JD over at Get Rich Slowly asks his readers What’s in the Ideal Personal Finance Book? I don’t think I’ve found an ideal one yet, but I have a lot of favorites. However, I bet if JD puts one out, that would be among them!
And that’s your Link Payday for November 8, 2008!
Hey Ryan, thanks for the link!
