linklings, failed failures
If this is your first visit to brip blap, you may want to subscribe to my RSS feed and visit my about page.
Based on some of the comments and the seeming lack of enthusiasm, I’m probably going to discontinue the 31 causes of failure series. If someone really loved it, sorry, but I just got the impression that it wasn’t catching anyone’s attention. Although I like to write for myself - it’s hard for me to write on topics I’m not enthusiastic about - I also don’t want to write anything that is boring to everyone else. I can do that in my own journals or emails!
Edit: Based on some of the comments, I guess I will continue the series, but on a slightly more irregular basis. Thanks everyone for the encouragement!

Managing Your Money is Easier Said Than Done
I wrestle with this all the time. I give advice all the time (and not just via this blog), but my views evolve, situations change, I learn new things and the advice that seemed so good a year ago might seem not-so-good today.
Feeling Poor: Here Are The Two Largest Reasons Why
Lazy Man makes a great point here - if you feel poor, it’s probably not due to a lack of good financial software, amongst other things. The reasons you feel poor (as opposed to actually being poor) are reasons you can pretty easily control, starting today.
