DQYDJ submitted to a carnival this week! That said, let's get you our customary links.
Carnivals
- We had an editor's pick at the 327th edition of the Carnival of Personal Finance for our article "Athletes are Underpaid...". It is hosted at Mrs. Nespy's World. Go visit!
Featured Links
- "Money Fail: Broke on Thursday" - loving the concept (and the avoidance) of the "Money Fail!". We're glad Bret is bringing this idea back as a series.
- Ironman at Political Calculations has been on a roll lately, and we can't pick just one article to link. For a satisfying read, try out the 2010 Household Income Calculator, and its cousin, the 2010 Personal Income Calculator!
- "Cooling Out the Marks in Uncle Sam's Ponzi Schemes" - Is Social Security a Ponzi scheme? While the funding and payout mechanism is questionable, I tend to doubt that the system is deliberately fleecing us. Actuarially unsound? Definitely. Will I get the benefits I was promised? Almost certainly not. Of course, in at least one aspect, Social Security is more extreme than a Ponzi scheme - it has mandatory participation.
- "The Shame of College Sports" - What is the true mission of the NCAA?
- "3 Ways Older Americans Are Going to Wreck Your Life" - It's true, while older Americans are alive, there are some things they will do that isn't in the immediate interest of the Younger Boomers, Generation X and Generation Y (not to mention Generation Z). However, all of those groups will have their chance on top, someday!
