The second Presidential debate was held this week, and as was the case with the first one and the Vice Presidential debate, Facebook and Twitter were alive with comments. When it was all over, there was a lot of discussion about who “won” the debate. Both sides claimed victory of course. Since it’s all very subjective with your point of view, there really is no clear cut winner. Maybe one day there will be a way to determine who actually won a Presidential debate, but in the mean time there should be no question in anyone’s mind that the below […] Read more »
I Love You Like a Blogger Roundup – 10/5
After last week’s marathon (which I finished in 4:05:47), I’m looking forward to staying at home this weekend and having poker night with the guys in my neighborhood. It’s always a good time. I’m also going to fire up the smoker and make something on Sunday to eat while I’m watching football. I’m thinking baby back ribs, what do you think? Speaking of things that are smokin’ here’s my favorite posts from the past week: Favorite Posts: If Something Looks Too Good To Be True, It Probably Is from Money Beagle Stalking Property Tax Records found on PTMoney Jokes on […] Read more »
I Love You Like a Blogger Roundup – 10/5
This Sunday I’ll be running the Twin Cities Marathon. Yes, I’m voluntarily running 26.2 miles. I’ve been training for the last year, so there’s quite a bit of anticipation for race day to come. Very similar, I’m sure, to the anticipation you’ve been feeling the past few days for this week’s EOD roundup. Here’s my favorite posts of the week: Favorite Posts: How to Get Your Spouse on Board Financially (Our Story) from Dr. Jason Cabler at Celebrating Financial Freedom The Great Debate: Kids and Money Matters from Suzanne Cramer at Straight Talk On Debt Lifestyle Inflation – What To […] Read more »
I Love You Like a Blogger Roundup – 9/28
It’s the last Friday in September. Whew! I don’t know about you, but it has been an action packed month. Four weeks ago, I was returning from my India business trip. Three weeks ago I was at #Fincon12. Two weeks ago I had gone to CareOne’s headquarters. After a recovery week, I’ve spent this past week playing catchup at work, and with my writing. We’re all busy, so I wouldn’t blame you a bit if you didn’t have time to check out all the financial blogosphere has to offer. But not to worry, that’s why I keep close tabs on […] Read more »

Link Love 9/15
My whirlwind month of travel has come to and end. In the last 30 days I’ve been to India for work, Denver for the Financial Blogger Conference, and to the Baltimore area for an event with CareOne Debt Relief Services.

Along that same train of thought, these five blog posts are also unique and one of a kind articles that you should definitely read this weekend. I command you to do so.

I’ve been in Hyderabad, India for work this week and between long days at work, the need to create presentations at night, and my internal time clock being completely messed up I haven’t been able to do as much blog reading as I normally do.

I’m heading to Hyderabad, India for the next two weeks for work.

Here’s a list of awesome blog posts that I’d totally read during that time if I hadn’t already read them. Whether your stuck on an airplane for hours on end, or sitting in the comfort of your own home snugged up on the couch with your laptop, these posts […] Read more »

I Love You Like A Blogger Memorial Day Edition
Happy Memorial Day everyone! Today we celebrate the lives of those who have fallen as well as those who sacrifice it all so that we may continue live free. God Bless those men and women who sacrifice(d) so much!! I saw on a comedy show rerun the other day where the comedian made a note of how we treat athletes and celebrities. We put them on a pedestal, and in some instances worship them like heroes. They get so much for free because of their status. This comedian earned a lot of respect in my book when he stated that […] Read more »
