Just tidbits about money and finance.

Here in DC, the local NPR affiliate is WAMU out of American University. I know I’ve posted about the Diane Rehm Show before. Diane is great. Kojo is great too, very mellow voice and funny too. Today’s show is on tax tips with guests from Kiplinger’s and USA Today. The opening segment is about AMT [...]

Scott has interviewed one of my favorite PF Bloggers, The Frugal Duchess, aka Sharon Harvey Rosenberg. The Duchess is a professional journalist and a frequent commenter here. (Well, at least when this was hosted at the same place as her blog.)
It’s nice to listen to these interviews. It gives you an audio taste of a [...]

Justin Henry does a complete write up of Wesabe. He actually does the legwork and interviews the CEO for you. Interesting and clever idea about the knowledge of the masses. Not sure how I feel about it though. I’m a late-adopter of a great many things, like say, WordPress.

Simple Dollar is relatively new to PFBlogging, but this post really made me stop. It’s about that good ole’ Mind-Money connection I like to talk about.
He really nails it down. These are the 100 essential questions you should ask yourself about your finances. I’m not sure I can think of any more in my current [...]

Usually I like CNN Money articles a lot. However, this one gives me pause.
I didn’t do great on the SAT verbal, but I do have a strong vocabulary. It’s so strong that I get blank stares in meetings with my word selection. I also get kudos for the 50 cent words as well, but in [...]

Donna Jean writes about having the conversation about money with friends. LAMoneyGuy has probably the post that started that thread. I’m very opinionated on the subject. After all, I was turned on to PFBlogs by a friend who pointed me to Boston Gal. (whoops! nearly called her Jane!)
