Around the PF Blogosphere: November 15, 2007

Nov 15, 2007 Sun

Today’s reading:

  • Wise Bread suggested rolling your own cost-of-living index. The idea is fine (because you have to track your spending first), but it’s much easier said than done and the result could be misleading.
  • Mipgirl’s Fiscal Challenge has an excellent idea on what you can do when you stuck in traffic on your way home: save some money.
  • Being Frugal asked whether frugal living becomes a new trend. I don’t know if it’s a trend since different people have different views on money and living. Personally, I don’t think saving money is everything. What’s the meaning of having the money but not being able to enjoy life?
  • Plonkee Money introduced her car, which really is a pair of boots, and told the story of not owning one.
  • The Dividend Guy shared his experience (or mistakes) in investing in dividend-paying equities. When I was searching for a dividend oriented mutual funds last year, it finally came to two funds, CAIBX and ADVDX. I eventually chose ADVDX for the reason that it’s a no-load fund. I will never buy a load fund, no matter how promising it seems to be.
