Finally a spare moment to catchup and read some of the interesting articles, I’ve been bookmarking with my browser.  This one at the New York Times, is about a 47 year old woman named Diane Mcleod.  She’s in trouble - due to consistent spending beyond her means.  The article is called “The Debt Trap“ The article annoys me a bit.  It shifts quite a bit of the blame for her predicament to her creditors.  I  don’t really understand that … because aren’t we as individuals responsible for our personal finances?  As a caring & empathetic woman I truly feel for her - but she is the one who chose to spend beyond her means!  What’s your take on this? Let me know what you think!

(Here is a post from Everything Finance that Diane needs to check out)!

Over at msnbc  there was a story about FREEGANS … have you heard this term before?  These are pretty hardcore dumpster divers, but I say more power to them!  It really is so sad & wasteful the good stuff that gets tossed in the trash - it just isn’t right!

At About.com:Frugal living  I found a list of the best time to buy everything.  It’s always good to refresh the memory on this information.

The Wealth, Money & Life Network has seven terrific bloggers that you should seriously consider subscribing to!  My favorite is “Saving For a Home of My Own.“

Finally a post called “Are You Crazy Enough To Succeed? ” by the editors of Men’s Health magazine.   It compares obsessive compulsive disorder making or breaking your career.  It was  really interesting!
