Best In Personal Finance February 19 | Yes, I Am Cheap

Home, sweet home. I?m back from a week-long excursion to the Left Coast. I was there since early Sunday, and did not have a moment to breathe. My days were scheduled from roughly 7am until 9pm every single day. It?s nice to be home just to be able to sleep like a normal person.

The trip was highly enlightening. For those of you new to the blog, I started a new job a little over two months ago. This was the first time that I was meeting everyone in my department. It was an ?offsite summit? which was great opportunity to see how everyone interacts when together.

I can say this, no matter how much you dislike your boss, it?s never a good idea to tell him or her that you don?t respect them because of the way that they dress. Ouch! Major faux pas. I?m watching the fallout from that mistake (not mine) with popcorn and a front row seat?not that this person?s observations were wrong. It?s just that you don?t say what everyone else is thinking out loud sometimes. You have to learn how to keep your thoughts to yourself sometimes.

I didn?t have a chance t browse a bunch of blogs this week, but I?m going to bring you some of the best blog posts on personal finance that I had a chance to read anyway.

• On my one ?free? night for the week, I had dinner with Suba from Wealth Informatics and her husband.? They re really nice people, and I?m such a New Yorker.? Hope that I didn?t scare them off.? Suba always writes well researched articles, and this week?s article, Money Can?t Buy Me Love?Or Can It? is no different.? Honestly, someone would be hard-pressed to want to be in a serious relationship with me if they knew about my debt ahead of time.? Thankfully, I already have a willing victim, so I?m good.
• I always appreciate a different point of view.? Aloysa?s take on 50 Things No One Told Me About America might get you thinking as well.? I?d love to do one called 5 things no one ever told me about being locked in a? gilded cage with your coworkers for 6 days.
• Since I don?t maximize the amount of money that I put into my 401(K), I don?t have a ROTH IRA, but if you do, you might want to learn about the Roth IRA Early Withdrawal Penalty.

I should have a couple more article up, but it?s 5 in the morning, and I need to reset my sleep clock.? This is totally not related to anything, but did you know that The Twilight Zone comes on at that time? I didn?t.

Don?t forget to join me this week for a new article in the get out of debt series.? I hope that you?re learning, because I am.
