Muchas gracias to Squawkfox for a sexy, delicious, and fun carnival of personal finance 164. Apparently, ranchers know the money is in the herd, and so is my post questioning whether your safety deposit box is really safe or not (P.S. it’s not). But mine wasn’t the only awesome post this week. Here are some others.
The Personal Financier asks if you would be willing to pay upwards of 60% of your income in taxes for a more equitable society, such as what’s done in the Scandinavian nations. Well that depends: is my income high or low?
Everyday Finance shows how buying a huge house in the middle of nowhere and commuting 40 miles each way to work is actually a lot more expensive than just paying inflated real estate prices in the city. I’ve been saying this for years!
Greener Pastures asks you to investigate the potential return of going to graduate school. I couldn’t agree more. I know plenty of people who’ve gone to grad school for the sake of going to grad school. Just because you have three masters degrees doesn’t mean you’ll make any more money or unlock any new opportunities. It all depends on what those degrees are in.
Last but not least, congratulations to Mrs Micah on her blogiversary! I hope my blog is half as successful as hers by the time my blogiversary comes around.
