Weak Week Output

One article this week?  What's up with that?

As much as I want to say that I was super angry at both people who want to drop math and people that think models are always an appropriate substitute for reality (mad enough to leave the article up all week...), I was re-modeling my bathroom.  That's a model you can trust.  On a side note, the 12th was my birthday - a day spent tiling!

It's extensively documented, and, lucky you, I'll probably finally post some home improvement articles!

Links We Liked

Yeah, we didn't read as much this week either - but there were a few standouts!

  • The host of the podcast I am a member of, AverageJoe, has pulled off his mask to reveal Joe Saul-Sehy, his true identity.
  • How does this post by JT at Money Mamba not have more comments and discussion?  He points out an actual way to make tons of money (or at least save you a ton of hard earned money), but he loses out to super generic articles on excuses bloggers make to justify new debt.  It's truly a tragedy.
  • Nelson at Financial Uproar assumes that these weekly roundups and random and arbitrary.  Well, we randoms arbitrarily liked his hilarious 'can you afford it?' flowchart.  And yes, we're typing this on an Apple product.  Swing away!
  • W at Off-Road Finance followed up on his Kelly Criterion series with a post about avoiding lotteries and reverse lotteries (but don't necessarily avoid insurance, which often works in a similar way, heh).
  • The shortest article we've ever read at Timeless Finance still clocked in at 3/4 of 1,000 words - we know that feeling (other than these weekly roundups!).  Even though it was meant for Canadians, this American agrees heartily with all of the 'best financial advice' given!
  • Greg at Control Your Cash delves into the personal anecdotes for a post on being the change you want to be - at least in regards to your own finances.  (Like that turn of phrase?  you'll understand it when you read the article)
