July 20, 2009 Link Payday
Welcome to your Link Payday for July 20, 2009–vacation edition! Yes, I am traveling over the next week, but you won’t miss me since I’ll still have posts showing up daily. In the meantime, please check out some of my picks for best of the personal finance blogosphere over the last few weeks:
The Frugal Duchess celebrates her 51st by coming up with 51 Frugal Goals for a Birthday Weekend. Hauoli Lahanau to you!
Trent at The Simple Dollar discusses what to do after reaching a huge goal when he considers To Close or Not to Close a Paid-Off Credit Card? In my case, I wouldn’t close it, but many people lack the self control to do that successfully.
My buddy Ron over at The Wisdom Journal goes old school on us–correctly–when he contemplates Could There Actually be a Shortcut to the Top? The answer, of course, is no–there are no overnight successes.
The Online Savings Blog preaches one of the most important parts of investing by Keeping the Market in Perspective. Yes, we’ve had a great few months, but we’ve not had the best ten years before that; then again, we’ve had much success when you go back even farther!
Finally, David over at My Two Dollars gives us a new way to cut spending by having us ask ourselves How Many Hours Do You Work to Pay For Your Stuff? Interestingly, I’ve been doing this for awhile and I do find that it helps me keep things in perspective.
And that’s your July 20, 2009 Link Payday!
Thank you very much for the inclusion of “Keeping “The Market” In Perspective” on Automaticfinances.com.
Keep up the great work!
