Ten Great Blog Posts That I Read Today

I have wanted to share more links to some of the great postings that I have been reading on my Google RSS Reader. Here’s ten great links I came across in my RSS reader in the past few days:

• Why bother diversifying? – Oblivious Investor.  A case study on why diversification is important even in today’s crazy market.
• Essential Money Tips For New Parents – Cash Money Life.  A great, comprehensive posting about what new parents face financially when they are expecting.
• All Financial Books From The Past 10 Years Should Be Burned – BudgetsAreSexy.  Classic J Money!  If you have never read any of J’s blog postings, shame on you!  He’s got a great financial mind, tells you how it is even if you won’t like it, has a unique style and voice to say the least, and he’ll keep your rolling while you learn something at the same time!  Check it out.
• Irony: Travelers Replaces Citi In The Dow & Other Thoughts – Weakonomics.  The Dow Jones Industrial Average is a horrible indicator of the overall market, but this post about an intertwining story in the average.
• Marginal Propensity to Consume – OneMint.  This post and the others at OneMint put the finance back into personal finance.  These are some great indepth articles for the finance major in us all.
• The Myth of ‘Good’ Debt – The Dough Roller.  We hear it all the time that there is good debt and bad, but it’s not true.  There is no such thing as good debt.
• How To Pay Off Your Mortgage Early – Five Cent Nickel.  Did you know that you can pay off a 30 year fixed rate mortgage in as little as 22 years if you make one extra payment per year?

• Clemson Controversy Calls Into Question US News College Rankings – WSJ Blogs – The Numbers Guy.  I am a huge Clemson fan especially since I grew up in South Carolina.  So, this article caught my eye.  Very interesting!
• Don’t Wait for Things to Get Back to Normal Because Normal May Never Return – Generation X Finance.  None of us really want to believe it, but someone had to say it.
