Weekly Round Up: Fire Drills, Stock Speculation, & "See ID".

Personal Finance Articles I Enjoyed:

1. What do you NOT care about spending money on? @ I Will Teach You To Be Rich – Yes! Something most people never really consider or ponder about. Spend money on the things you enjoy, and cut out the things you could care less about. Absolutely brilliant.
2. Why writing “See ID” on credit cards is the worst thing you can do @ Punny Money – Wow, this is the first time in a while I’ve questioned my beliefs on something like this. Long story, but crazy interesting! Makes you keep a better eye on cashiers too.
3. The Best Career advice, in 10 words or less @ The Simple Dollar - Fun way to get some good advice, and fast ;) I believe I made my very first appearance on his site – woohoo!
4. The 10 Commandments of Stock Speculation @ DINK’S Finance – I don’t post much on stock investing, but this seems to be a pretty good rule of thumb from the little I know ;)
5. The Big Question: Are You Better Than yesterday? @ Tim Ferriss – LOVED this post, and it applies to ALL parts of your life, not just finance (in fact, Tim blogs/writes books about life in general, I just use it as inspiration to help my finances ;) )
6. Fire Drill @ Counting My Pennies – If there was a fire hitting your place right now and you had to get up and outta there, would you know exactly what to grab on your way out? An easy accessible stash of important docs by chance? Nothing? A good thing to think about for sure.
7. Budget by date – When are my bills due? @ Fighting Foreclosure – I do something similar myself, but I like the way she breaks it down and just really thinks of it all.
8. Martin Lodge-on-Wheels: 10′x20′ House for $37,000 @ My Money Blog – I want one.
