The Week in Review: Money Issues #6

“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.

… Bad Company’s Feel Like Makin’ Love is blaring in the background …

Oh, hi everyone … is it time to wrap up another week already?

I’m all hopped up on caffeine right now! You see, we’ve been getting the good coffee in lately (I won’t tell you the brand, because they wouldn’t pay me for the plug anyway) and to top that off we ordered a new, non-alcoholic, Irish Crème-flavored creamer (which is both delectable and extremely addictive). My eyes are like platters right now, and I can’t wait to get out of here at beer o’clock (which always seems to help me relax).

Well, another Friday down — have fun this weekend, but first check out some of these articles, which I hand-selected for those readers who sent me in their much appreciated feedback. Enjoy guys, and thank you:

Where You Are Now: Car Need Fixed? Save the Cash. This Aaron guy knows a thing or two about saving: read this! Note: your mechanic will tell you not to drive around with a cracked cylinder head — listen to him.

MoneyNing: When Saving Money Goes Against Your Morals. Ok, don’t expect some deep philosophical discussion here — just something to think about before Sunday Mass. BTW: My answer was the third one down (“Or was it?” I say, with an evil grin).

Cosmic Variance: A Time-Saving Rant. Read what your fellow Americans are thinking about this year’s media-frenzied election! Then turn off your TVs for two months and elect someone who wants real change (note: that VP spot should go to Biden, as Palin, in her acceptance speech, admitted that she’s only one make-up counter away from becoming a pit bull).

Business Pundit: 25 Well-Paying Jobs that Most People Overlook (and Why). Oh, I applied for like half of these but never got any callbacks! Go ahead, give some of them a try (Dude, or Dudette [sorry], 25’s super profitable, but nasty).

Bleacher Report: Lance Armstrong To Come Out Of Retirement To Sign With Jets. How sweet would this be — that guy’s a real athlete (not some cry-baby who just now realized that he’s only got one skill in life, and almost gave it up)? I’m all for it, but he’s going to get his midget ass pulverized (note: this is all one big joke, sorry for blowing it for you).

If you were entertained (or even informed) by any, or all, of these articles, can you give me a moment of your time and shoot me some feedback (this way I can pick your brain, and offer you what you really want)? Also, I’d love to hear what else you want Geoff and me to write about, so let us know that as well, and I’ll see what I can do!

If you haven’t subscribed to our feed or email yet, please do! This way we can send you instant notifications of our new stuff (posts) which are written fresh each weekday (remember: all through September, I will be writing weekend pot shots as well).

See you in three days’ time, and I hope you enjoy my Saturday and Sunday nonsense! Have a good one! Till Monday …
