Roundup for week of 4 November 2007: Surly Taco edition
November 12th, 2007 | by mbhunter |My last post commenting on the 30-year employee of Taco Bell that got the axe already has gotten a number of comments, most of which took issue with my treatment of the subject. One commenter said it was “glib, facile (and a little bit mean)” for me to make an example of this 63-year-old woman as a reason to develop a Plan B and diversify your skill set, with the implication that she’s not exactly at the age where she should be polishing her resume. This is one of several, so hop over to that post and check it out.
In the meantime, here are posts of interest from the MBN and other great blogs in my reader:
- Get Rich Slowly is quitting his day job, and he talks about the process.
- Free Money Finance has a guest post on true prosperity.
- All Financial Matters asks if you’re spending your time or investing it.
- Blueprint for Financial Prosperity says that you’re a business and should act like one. (Good, hard-hitting post.)

- Five Cent Nickel gives food for thought about funding an IRA when you’re not sure that you can really afford to do so.

- The Digerati Life dishes a good post on loans to handle with care.

Definitely have to give JD some credit for having the guts to try blogging full time. I’m actually thinking about trying it on a trial basis next summer!
