Uncommon Money News (Vol. 69)


By: Roshawn Watson

In preparing to write my posts, I often come across noteworthy and sometimes bizarre financial and business news. Below are links to some of these sites. Enjoy!

Last week, I participated in the Carnival of Financial Planning #102 hosted by: The Skilled Investor Blog. If you remember, we hosted this same carnival edition #101. We have the following posts included in this carnival: The Rich Get Poorer, Outrageous Law Transfers Parents' Debt To YOU, Colleges Pimping Their Students. Please look through the carnival if you would like to read plenty of other interesting posts in the blogosphere!

To my readers: I am so honored by your support. Thank you for reading, subscribing, and for voting for articles from this site on social bookmarketing sites such as stumbleupon, reddit, delicious, digg, propeller, twitter, and yahoo buzz. Together, we are telling thousands of the importance of financial literacy. I absolutely could not do it without you. You are vital this this site, and I appreciate your help so much! Thanks.

With your help this week, we made the front page of multiple social media with the post Have We Stopped Saving Already!!! Thanks for your help and also thanks for all the comments!!!!

Can’t state enough how important the sacrifices that go into wealth creation are.

Curious if anyone has caught this book yet? “The Richest Man in Town” by W Randall Jones. I’ve read half of it so far and let me tell you it is well worth it. Would like to hear what everyone else thought of it?
