Every week I’ll be posting my favorite money reads of the week. Please send me the good stuff I missed.
Enjoy!
- Miranda at Yielding Wealth has an interesting post about family finance choices in the new economy.
- Proof that we’re all in the same boat (or sinking ship if you’re a pessimist) – German bank failure could spell disaster for Wisconsin school districts.
- Yay! We have a new acronym – TARP. Time to get up to speed on the Troubled Asset Relief Program (aka the bankers’ slice of the $700 billion bailout pie).
- Looks like banks dealing with the federal government won’t have to abide by fair value accounting rules. There’s a shocker.
- Bill Kennedy, the Energized Accountant, reminds us to keep skills fresh. I especially like his bullet list at the end of the post that gives tips for multi-tasking your lifelong learning. Great advice for those in any field, but especially important when continuing education is mandated.
