That's the case today: we'll turn our attention to an unfair tax paid by professional athletes. Let's tackle duty day taxation. What is Duty Day Taxation? Duty Day Taxation – sarcastically known […]
Disappointing last weekend for me - no Patriots last second miracle in the Super Bowl incoming. Brady looked flat - I'm wondering if someone snuck some nightshades into his hotel food. Call it my eggplant conspiracy theory. Links We Liked! Piece of the week: Political Calculations calculated the price of Campbell's Soup cans back to […]
The stock market's down, and you didn't win the Powerball. Too bad, them's the break, eh? Well, at least we'll always have football. Go Patriots! Links We Liked! Have you ever felt too cheap? Anne at Money Propeller discusses the other side of the problem. Political Calculations has another nice post on companies making dividend […]

Leftover turkey barely fully eaten and we've already got our Christmas tree up! Makes me feel like an overachiever. (Even though my wife gets the tree-raising credit) But since I've been underachieving on these Weekenders, let me reach back a few weeks... Links We Liked! A timely piece from Paula Pant at Afford Anything: no, […]
I'm not that removed from school - I can still remember it, anyway - but when I first heard about 'safe spaces' I thought first of the 2014 Taylor Swift song, Blank Space. I blame Nelson of Financial Uproar for the link in my head. Links We Liked! Microsoft Excel is thirty years old. Read […]
Boo! (USC comes up to the Bay Area today to play Cal - so, for today, let's go LA!) Links We Liked! On Reddit, a bartender accidentally saved over $100,000... and accidentally neglected to pay taxes on it. J. Money had an interesting post on becoming a brand ambassador. At Vox, some results casting shade […]
We were in Santa Cruz this weekend - sorry about the later than normal Weekender! At least it's still the weekend though.
