The Week in Review: Money Issues #9
By Geoff on Oct 3, 2008 in In Other Blogs..., Reviews
“The Week in Review: Money Issues” is our weekly blog research on financial topics that define us as Americans, and shape the way we should do business.
Well, another week done. Over with. Kaput. Hey, I don’t know about you, but all of this money stuff in the news is getting weary. Yeah, I know it’s important, but the never ending bad news is endless. Bailout. Rescue plan. Credit crunch. Wall Street vs. Main Street. What bad news are they gonna hit us with next?
At least the election is almost here. Now, there’s a fascinating situation. If you vote from your pocketbook – and the pundits say most of us do – who’s your candidate? Obama? McCain? (hmmm, probably not John Mac, at least on economic issues, I daresay).
What’s the deal with Congress, anyway? The lack of leadership is scary. First, we hear that “the sky is falling,” and that the bailout must be passed right away or we face a financial Pearl Harbor. Then, leaders, including our wonderfully competent President “W” (yeah, right) fail to tell the American public why this bailout – er- rescue bill is desperately needed. Meanwhile, credit tightens, the stock market tanks and more money is lost by all. So, what gives?
Anyway, enough of this sour stuff. We at MoneyRemix do delight in pointing out the foibles of government..hey, who doesn’t? But we need to focus on moving forward, as they say. Here are some blogs that we came across…definitely worth your attention! Enjoy! Oh. Be sure to have a fabulous weekend. Let’s try, anyway.
Some interesting blogs we found:
Tips and downloads for getting things done. This post is a good read. How to treat paydays and what you can do to be better equipped to handle your personal finances, including paying bills quickly. Worth a quick read.
This post about helping your wallet in a troubled economy…well, what can we say? Who wouldn’t want to read this? Timely? Yes! Get your reading glasses…contact lenses…or naked eyeballs ready and read on. This is good.
They want to know about the best cheap eats in your city. Now, that’s a cool topic. My friend and MoneyRemix guru Pete will love this one. And so should you. Who doesn’t want to save money? Jump in.
The Sarah Palin economy improvement plan post. Not too important to your personal finance planning, but hey, how could we resist a pointing you to a fun post about the one and only Gov. Sarah? Read and enjoy.
See ya back here at MoneyRemix on Monday (..right?). Pete will be back at his post with his usual pearls of wisdom and his unique commentaries and observations on the personal finance scene.
