It’s Friday and I’ve been on vacation the last two days. I haven’t been super caught up on blog reading but there are a few that I really liked this week.
Bluebird at Hedonic Adjustment does an analysis of aggregated NetWorthIQ data.
Madame X point us to a great article about the income gap in NYC. It’s pretty much the same where I live, around DC.
Paperless finance by JD and Jim. Personally, I love paper. Yes, it does take work to tame the ‘paper tiger’, but having watched electronic backup disasters, I know that very little takes the place of keeping paper around. Plus I believe that a consumer has more rights when they have an actual canceled check in hand. (Read that somewhere, but I forgot where.) I do encourage people to think about paperless. I don’t keep every scrap, but I do keep more than probably other PF bloggers do. Because it’s a habit and organized, it doesn’t cost me much to store my old records.
Bonanza week by Tricia at Blogging Away Debt. She’s suffering a bit of a mental block as she delves into some of her deepest financial fears, but you can read these articles and still have a great week:
PostSecret has a secret about debt
Modest Needs – Thanks to her for first pointing this organization out to me. I think sometimes people just need a small hand up. I like the stories about self-empowerment best.
I’m on limited time here. Got a crying nephew to attend. Sorry this isn’t much longer, but I have been spending far less time with computers this week. In a good way!

Hey Mapgirl, thanks for the roundup! This is a good list and I enjoyed the reads.
As a side note, I tried to leave comments on your other posts but they wouldn’t go up for some reason. It wasn’t for lack of trying! What am I doing wrong?!
I hope you enjoyed your vacation! I’m having a great time with my guy… such a shame I have to go to work tomorrow!
