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;

Free Money Finance shows us how to increase our salary;

and my favorite post of the week:

Tough Money Love wants to know if you feel bad for GM bondholders.

• Son of Humpday Sarcasm As I mentioned in last week's post entitled Humpday Sarcasm: Ten Things That I Wished I'd Said First, I received Robert Byrne's book, The 2,548 Best Things Anybody Ever Said, for my birthday.  I shared ten selections with you last week, and figured I'd keep up the tradition until......
• Barbaric Book Review: Leadership Secrets of Attila the Hun Unlike a recent mandatory reading assignment, I thoroughly enjoyed Leadership Secrets of Attila the Hun by Wess Roberts.  First published in the mid-1980's, it contains timeless tips for managers at any level.  The author's unique approach is a welcome departure from the flavor-of-the-month motivational books ghostwritten for sports figures.......

• Lazy Man Politics Policy (and personal finance links) You may have noticed that I didn't mention much about politics in the last few weeks. My reasoning for this isn't that it doesn't effect your personal finances. It's just that I believe people can be financially successful in any kind political environment in the United States. I hear a......

• Personal Finance Links (Red Sox, iPods, or MLB Umpires) This was a pretty bad week for on several fronts. My treasured Red Sox played horribly in just about all areas of the game, earning themselves some extra vacation time (and I thought I was Lazy). The Major League Baseball umpires missed numerous calls including three tags in the first......
