The Week in Review: Money Issues #10

“The Week in Review: Money Issues” is my weekly blog research on financial topics that define us as Americans, and shape the way we should do business.

Yea, we had a lot going on this week, didn’t we?

First you had the second presidential debate, which Obama won hands down (due to the fact that McCain’s a living idiot who thinks that spreading fear is going to help him replace the king of it — “good” old GWB). Then you had my Phillies advance to the NLCS against the L.A. Dodgers (which, by the way, is helping me make it through the Eagles lost against the Redskins last weekend). And as for Palin … Ok, we’ll stop laughing now (please lady, leave with your dignity — you bit off more than you can chew)!

Before I head out for a wild weekend of baseball, football, hockey and beer, I’ll leave you with the best blog articles that I could muster up:

24/7 Wall St: AIG (AIG): The Buffoons Take Over The Nuthouse. Seriously guys (read: Congress) get your shit together. This bailout thing can only go down one of two roads, and you guys are thumbing for a ride in the wrong direction. Please, for the sake of America’s future, enough of the stupidity already (it’s getting real old, quick)!

The Business Sheet: Buying Cars With Cash No Longer Just For Mafiosi and Sheiks! My uncle Vinnie (not his real name, but the feds are after him, so we’ll call him that) has been doing this for years. Ok, most of his cars cost under $1500, but they all had nice big trunks! Read if you grew up on the right side of the law!

Lifeline Live: Lil’ Wayne gets cash for his birthday. Man, I should get my butt into the recording studio (those guys have the life). Yea, you’re right, I’d probably stink (just like Vanilla Ice and Markie [sorry, I mean Mark. He’s too cool for us now] Walberg). Oh well, back to the drawing board!

The Consumerist: 6 Ways Not To F— Up Your Finances Before You’re 30. This article is for you young guys! As some of you might already know, I’m Pennsylvania Dutch and 35 so I don’t have to worry about such trivialities (I’m cheap as hell, in other words).

Money Ning: Take Comfort, Even a Stock Market Crash Is Not the End of the World. Written by a glass-is-half-full kind of guy! “Puhh, it’s only money!” Read this, turn off the doom-and-gloom news stations, and try to enjoy life knowing that you’re going to be ok (unless you play the shorts. In that case, have fun with that whole homeless thing).

Geoff and I would love to know what you want us to write about so let us know — fo’ sho’!
