    Updated: 2011-06-28 04:07:42
    Ha! You probably thought this was about vegetarianism, but it isn’t. I recently got a pingback from a Brazen Careerist post on her opinion on bad job advice lobbing me in with the baby boomers.

  • Does money only exist to be spent?

    Updated: 2011-06-26 10:39:45
    I just stumbled on an interesting post over at Moneymonk with a title suggesting that money only exists to be spent. I disagree. I think money also serves to delineate the wealthy from the broke. To reiterate the definitions: wealthy means having having enough money to buy everything you want (I’m wealthy), broke means not [...]

  • The risk of stock market diversification

    Updated: 2011-06-23 07:03:31
    Diversification is often hailed as a great safety feature of modern investment theory.
