Good Things

Wow. There are so many good blogs out there right now. Here is a look at a few of the posts I read and enjoyed this week.

Frugal Dad wrote a great article entitled Language of the Perpetual Poor. It’s an interesting look at how our thoughts/beliefs influence our money decisions and therefore our financial lives. I bet many of us have had these thoughts at one time or another, and all of us have been exposed to people who believe them. The thing is, it’s easy (and entertaining) to read an article like this and think, “Oh yeah, that’s dumb.” What we each need to do is look at ourselves and see where we are suffering from similar thinking and make a change!

Shanti at antishay.com gave readers a first hand look at her efforts to make money on the side. What I liked most about this article is that she’s doing it, and she tells us about it honestly. Her enthusiasm is infectious and she’s really trying to help.

For a laugh, check out The Orange Paper’s Fuel for Thought. It will be the first time you’ve ever been grateful your car didn’t run on printer ink. (Sorry, the money values are not in dollars, but you’ll get the idea).

And, on a serious note, check out Steve Olson’s post, Satisfaction is the Death of Desire Here’s my favorite quote:

Somehow, when we were kids, we began to believe we needed our desires satiated to be happy, but we don’t, and this mind set cheats us out of many happy moments.

Excellent list, and thanks for including me. Yeah, that article has sparked a real controversy, and that wasn’t how it was intended. However, I think it may have awakened a few to a new way of thinking, and maybe catching themselves using some of that same language. I know I have at one point or another.
