Definitely finish that degree unless there is a compelling reason not to. J$ is right. Unless you want to work for yourself, it is hard to find good employment without those credentials. And community college BAs can do the trick for less money. Definitely consider that.

Yup, pretty much!!

And ironically enough, sharing blogrolls also happens to help with traffic too! Because while you’re sharing other blogs, their sharing you and the circle of blog love flows throughout :)

Perhaps if enough of us rock them again we can bring them back?

Staying patient with investments through your retirement account is a winning formula J$!! I love individual stocks, but I also love the research and analysis that goes along with it – and I’m certainly hoping it pays off in the long run.

And although I’ve just started this whole blogging thing for fun, and to hopefully share some good ideas with people, I have taken your advice and submitted my blog to the Directory :)

For the person with a student loan of $12,000 and cc. debt of $10,000, Jay is right: pay off that cc debt like it’s the most important thing you could do with your money – because it is! I hope that you never become comfortable with your debts just because it’s “normal” to be in the red. My husband and I had that false comfort for many years, but then when the unexpected happened (in our case, job loss), it wasn’t so comfortable anymore. Make your paradigm shift happen now instead of later, and watch that $10,000 go down!

I wish having a blogroll was still a “thing” too. I had a personal blog before blogging was all about how much traffic you could get, and one of my favorite parts of it was discovering new blogs from the people that I already followed. Sigh. Those were the good days.
