Posts Tagged hard times

Passive Family Income had this recent post about the types of posts he hates to write.  His dilemma was similar to mine, as I struggle with writing about really personal things.  Like my About page.  I commented that I thought mine was pretty generic, and that I would probably go back and revise it.  Well, that day has come.  Check out my new and improved About page, and then come back to this post and let me know what you think in the comments.

Now, on to some posts that are WAY better than the drivel I produce:

David at My Two Dollars reminds us to live today while planning for the future;

Matt has a guest post at Five Cent Nickel that asks: Is personal responsibility dead?;

Clever Dude tells us the only failure is failing to learn;

Peter at Bible Money Matters reminds us that hard times make us stronger;

Jacob at Early Retirement Extreme asks: which 5 blogs do you read?;

Steve at Brip Blap talks about making money with credit cards;

Five Cent Nickel debates whether paying off your mortgage early is better than investing;

Lazy Man and Money shows us how to save money by turning off your TV;

Fred Lee at Wise Bread doesn’t want his boss bothering him while he’s daydreaming;

Trent at The Simple Dollar talks about health and money and the power of independent steps;
