I link the links that make the whole world link

 

It’s another big week in the blogosphere and we’re bringing out the big gun of music to celebrate! First of all, big congratulations to Mike at Quest for Four Pillars on pillar #4! Bloggers are reproducing at a furious rate…

Copa.. . Copacabana
Copa Copacabana
Copacabana, ahh ahh ahh ahh
Ahh ahh ahh ahh Copa Copacabana
Talking Havana have a banana
Music and passion…always the fash–shun

I wasn’t as active in the carnivals this week, but I’ll be back at it. There have been a lot of good comments on some of my recent posts, so if you haven’t checked out the comments I encourage you to do so. I had a guest post over at Mrs. Micah, as well – she has a very entertaining and informative blog and I was honored to be her very first guest poster!

Carnival RoundupCarnival of Personal Finance at Million Dollar Journey: My post “2017 is the year of the bimillionaire” was included this week at the Carnival of Personal Finance. A couple of picks:

The 10 Most Important Things I have learned from Dividend Investing from The Dividend Guy: Interesting post on dividend investing. I’m more of an index fund type, but I do have a high opinion of dividend investing. Worth a read.

Open yourself to opportunity and inspiration from Mrs. Micah: I think too often people think of entrepreneurialism as a grand gesture – buying a gas station, starting a business. Sometimes it can be as simple as starting to sell things on eBay. Mrs. Micah has a good idea, and I’m sure she’ll make some money with it.

 

Oh Mandy well,
You came and you gave without taking,
But I sent you away.

Now I’ve got myself some money
A mansion in Bel-aire.
Yes I’ve spent a lot of money
And I”ve been most everywhere.
But still there’s somethin’ missin’ I”ve got to find,
A part of me I must’ve left behind,
That makes a guy start feelin’,
Feelin’ those Brooklyn Blues.

How Do I Select My Investments? Why Are They Performing So Well?: As always, MMND has an in-depth examination of a subject that really sheds some light on her ‘slightly different from the norm’ advice. While I am not sure I would give up my index fund investing philosophy, this article certainly has a LOT of food for thought. (@ Millionaire Mommy Next Door)

Thirty Days To Improve Your Life: Recently I’ve been into lists, and this is a great one. I can’t argue with anything on the list, and the only criticism I can come up with is that I didn’t write it or find it first! (@ How I Will Be Rich)

Kids Lose When You Keep Up With The Jones’: I think Kyle and I are on the same page regarding kids. It’s important for them to be around their parents in their early years, and he makes a great case for it. (@ Rather-Be-Shopping.com Blog)

A boogie-woogie beat is what I’m talkin’ about
You could pull a switcheroonie if you felt low down
With the boogie-woogie beat of a piano man who’s goin’ to town
(doot, doot, doot doo, yeah)
(doot, doot, doot doo, yeah)

PS: WordPress is giving me a headache. I’ve written this post twice already and for some reason when I format things it *poof* disappears. I give up! There were a few more links but I’m out of steam. But finally there are new declarations (and some updates) at Lazy Man and Money, Saving For A Home Of My Own, Million Dollar Journey, Canadian Dream: Free at 45 and Rather Be Shopping. I’m sure I’ve missed some but Technorati isn’t always perfect at catching trackbacks! There are some great ideas in these declarations so keep checking them out!
