From Whole Foods to Food Stamps: New writer Sierra @GetRichSlowly.org has a great article that will make you question if you really are that secure in your Middle Class lifestyle. She chronicles a Professional woman's sudden financial free-fall that will really get you thinking. If you read nothing else on today's list, read this one.
What the Toyota Fiasco Teaches Investors: The Wall Street Journal has a good article on how Toyota's stock analysts are merely cheerleaders and still fail to see the weaknesses in the mega company. Good read for those that rely on what analysts say. In my experience, most analysts really are too insulated in life to see the important stuff. 4 months ago, I visited my Japanese born independent auto mechanic and asked him what car he would recommend when I finally traded in my 12 year old car. I expected him to say Toyota, since that is most of his business, but he said, "I would be careful about buying a newer Toyota, I am seeing things that I have never seen go wrong at an alarming rate, Very Bad. " The guy on the street knows what's going on, but the analysts on Wall Street are clueless.
Make and Save Money By Getting Rid of Your Junk: FreeMoneyFinance.com writes about the benefit of getting rid of the stuff you don't use any longer. One figure that is amazing is that Americans pay $17 billion a year for storage of their stuff. Good reminder with Spring Cleaning around the corner.
A Happier Happy Hour for Your Wallet: Kelli @ Smartmoney.com has a good list of how you can save on drinks. My suggestion, invite some friends that will bring over some wine, beer, or spirits, you cook on the grill and you'll save a bundle.
