Let it Snow!

Here in the Midwest, we just started having 40 degree weather again, just to get blasted with 8 inches of snow. So much for an early spring! Here’s a quick roundup of some good reads of the week.

• Did you have trouble Understanding the Difference between Multi-Level Marketing Programs and Pyramid Schemes? Ryan from Obsessed Analytic does a great job of explaining that difference in a guest post for Christian PF.
• I would laugh if it wasn’t so close to home as FiscalGeek writes Why a Storage Unit is the Gateway Drug to Financial Ruin.  Read the comments to see how many bloggers are also woodworkers.
• Paul from Provident Planning tells a bit about 10 day Mission Trip in I’m Back from Haiti.
• Jeff from Good Financial Cents asks a question that got my attention: Will You Work Past Your Normal Retirement Age? Hmmm.  Pretty sure I will.
• Matt at Debt Free Adventure gives some great advice in Debt Reduction While Planning a Career Change – Beckey Answered
• It’s tax time and Patrick gives us an overview of Marginal Taxes and 2010 Federal Income Tax Brackets.  This is stuff you need to know.
• Consumer Boomer asks if makes sense to annuitize an immediate annuity.  Good read for any baby boomer.
• At Military Finance Network, we take a closer look at the types of insurance that we really need.
• Digerati Life presents how to apply for a loan at peer to peer lending.
• Bible Money Matters presents What Is A Health Care Flexible Spending Account (FSA)? How Does It Work?

I participated in the following Carnivals this week:

• Carnival of Money Stories hosted by Consumer Boomer
