Second, it discusses how to use that money to make more money. Sounds great on the surface, but this book failed to deliver and [...]

Should You Put Your Money in a Bank That May Fail?

As news of the Washington Mutual debacle started to trickle out, people with money in that bank began wondering if it was a smart idea to keep depositing. As a result, the overall amount of the bank’s daily deposits dropped sharply, which compounded the problem. While no one likes to think about bank failures, this [...]

Finance 101: Good Debt vs. Bad Debt

I’m amazed by the number of people who seem to be against debt. Debt has become has a problem in America, but I think too many people clump the good with the bad. To the people that don’t like debt, would you take a million dollar loan at 1% interest? I would. I’d immediately put it in a few interest baring accounts that are FDIC insured (I say a few because FDIC insurance doesn’t cover a whole million). At today’s rates, which are historically pretty low, you can make a guaranteed 3% on that money. [...]

Should You Have an Emergency Charity Fund?

It’s no secret that one of my favorite blogs is Get Rich Slowly. Yesterday there was an article about how to coping with financial disaster. (My short answer see #14 of 16 Thoughts on Oprah’s Stanford Commencement Speech… Grieve properly, attend to the situation at hand, and get back to what was important before the crisis.)
With more and more natural disasters striking the United States, it occurred to me… should I have an emergency fund to donate to charity? I typically focus my charitable efforts on one effort… the American Cancer Society… in honor of my dad. [...]

Celtics and Oprah (and some weekend links)

This is an interesting weekend for me. I’m very excited about two events tomorrow. In the morning, I get to watch one of my wife’s friends get her doctorate from Stanford… followed by a graduation speech from Oprah. It’s kind of sad that I’m not really interested in her for any reason other than she’s Oprah. I’m not exactly a fan.
After I’m done with Oprah, I have to hop on the Celtics’ bandwagon and root with some friends at a bar. I didn’t think I’d find basketball interesting ever again, but between Pierce coming back [...]

Identity Theft Insurance

I read an interesting article on identity theft insurance recently. This product is a side effect of the booming identity theft protection industry, and the article suggests that this insurance isn’t worth it for most people.
