Sunday Round-Up!

Hope you’ve all had a great weekend, and that the prospect of working tomorrow isn’t *too* frightening. This week there have been some great posts in the Personal Finance Blogosphere:

  • Seb over at Pinching Copper made a great case for why a housing bailout is a bad idea. While I do feel sorry for many borrowers who are now in a horrible situation, artificially propping up the market is likely to lead to a whole lot more pain in the not-too-distant future.
  • Mom from Wide Open Wallet has a fantastic article on how we can bilk ourselves out of true happiness by fooling ourselves into think we ‘deserve’ things we don’t even want.
  • Hank from My Investing Blog considers whether we would be better off dumping the income tax and switching to a national sales tax.
  • Ginger from Girls Just Wanna Have Funds has a great post outlining 8 recession-proof jobs. Very good reading in uncertain times like these.
  • Shanti at AntiShay examines what’s involved in building a Snowflake Business. Fascinating stuff!
  • Kevin at No Debt Plan talks about smart, frugal gardening by recommending you only buy plants that ‘pay dividends’. Check it out!

Have a great week everyone!

    Thanks for the love! It really is ridiculous how many people are interested in trading the current tax system for a new one… Catchy subject… :)
