massive link roundup, post-turkey edition
Hi! If you're new here, welcome - I'm Steve, the author of brip blap! Take a look at my about page and check out a few posts. If you like what you read (and I hope you do!), please sign up for my RSS feed or sign up to get posts by email by clicking here. Send me an email directly - I would love to hear from you. Thanks for visiting!
Since it seems to work fairly well I will reveal the source of the new bookmarking tool I’m using (diigo): Lazy Man and Money. I’ve decided not to bother with separating the link roundup into sections - carnivals and links will just be mixed together in one big pile.
I’ll draw particular attention to the Digerati Life article. I hope to be able to start highlighting more “get out of the rat race” articles as my wife and I start intensely concentrating on our plans for (me) to do so in the next few years. Honestly, I intend to be more or less retired from my consulting gig as a full-timer within a few more years. It’s possible - I could work a few months out of the year, then spend the rest of the year working on alternative income sources. It sounds crazy to me, probably to you, too, but I think I’m going to do it. There is no “next life” in which to pursue what you really want, is there?
Cheap Healthy Good: Festival of Frugality #102: The Mix Tape Edition Annotated
- My post “saving money on books” was included at the Festival of Frugality. Each entry had a song assigned to it, so go over there to see which song was associated with my entry!
LifeEdit.net: TV-Free Living for Your Kids
- I really liked this article, too, although we’ve failed at raising TV-free child #1 ourselves. It’s a very difficult task for parents, and I’m convinced now that the only way we could have done it was if we hadn’t had a TV in the house.
- Dong has an interesting story about some of his brother’s college friends who went the simple route - and by simple I mean REAL simple.
Personal Stories of Change Blog Carnival: Edition 11
- My post “2017 is the year of the bimillionaire” was included at in the Personal Stories of Change Carnival at I will change your life . com. The post from artThailand, Genesis of a gallery. Genesis of a life. was an interesting read, as well.
Free Money Finance: Make a Fortune as a Clown/Balloon Artist
- This post from Free Money Finance slipped by me the first time out but it’s an incredible thought - six figures as a clown? Just goes to show that you don’t always have to aim for being a doctor or a lawyer to make a great living. This post was personally inspirational to me, to be honest!
Personal Development & Happiness Carnival: Issue 18
- My article “What Lies Before Us” was included at the Personal Development & Happiness Carnival, which is a very inspiring read. I thought this post was great but no one seemed to read it, so I’m hoping the carnival will get it a bit more attention
The Real Secret to Building Wealth | MoneySocket
- Thursday at the Money Socket has a good post on the real secret to building wealth. It reminds me of the real secret to weight loss: eat less, exercise more. The secret to most things is “there is no secret.” Other than the Law of Attraction
Quitting My Job, Retiring Early: 5 Steps To Lifestyle Change
- And of course, a link roundup from me wouldn’t be complete without a mention of the Digerati Life. She’s getting ready to jump off the grid - to drop out - to go hippie - to just NOT do it. Actually I started thinking about it today and this is possible for anyone, almost. I think I may take a year off next year myself, and work on writing and other alternative income sources. Great article, and very thought-provoking.
Carnival of Personal Finance #128 - Investment Truth Edition - Stock Trading To Go
- Ah, the mighty massive carnival of personal finance - my post on saving money on books was included amongst the many articles of the carnival - go check it out, there’s something for pretty much everyone there….
Transforming Goals Into Actions | Moolanomy
- Pinyo has a very thoughtful post about his goals and motivations and how they need to be (and are) transformed into actions. I struggle with this sometimes too, although usually I have more trouble with flailing around with a lot of actions that aren’t aimed at a specific goal - although I’m getting better at it. Plus, Moolanomy is currently holding a book giveaway for people willing to share their financial story.
My blasts from the past:
- how a regular person can make passive income
- how to use an FSA account
- raises - are they for suckers?
Check out the bookstore for some stuff I like and think you might, too…
