Weekly Roundup – 08/18/06

Written by Nickel - Leave a Comment

Here’s a quick rundown of some posts that caught my eye over the past week…

JLP wants to know what your inbox says about you. Me? I have 2119 messages in my inbox. Just like JLP, I ascribe this to laziness (and a healthy dose of being overworked), as opposed to a tendency to cling to the past.

Jim talks about joint accounts for married couples. In our case, my wife and I have had joint everything since before we got married. Ten years (next week) later, and it’s still all good.

Flexo is looking for a new computer.

FMF has been having trouble with his Sears elliptical machine.

MBH wants to be sure that you’re not undersaving for retirement. Id you’re interested in this topic, check out my post on whether or not you’re saving enough for retirement.

Jonathan compares the solo 401(k) vs. the SEP-IRA.

And that’s that. Have a great weekend!
