Hope you enjoy these articles as well:

• My Two Dollars talked about run-flat tires and said the benefits far outweigh the costs. If my car has those, I probably won’t consider them as necessary from the cost-and-benefit point of view. But they are convenient. And talking about convenience, my wife never had a flat tire in the past 8 years since she started driving
• Money Ning gave some suggestions on how to reduce your taxes forever. I do my own taxes and, yes, a tax software is a must to keep up with changes in tax laws. And I can deduct the cost of the software from my federal tax.
• Brip Blap summarized how to become a billionaire (yes, it’s a b) after reading a story on Forbes and one of the items is “Go east, young man” because that’s where the opportunities are.
• Advanced Personal Finance has a better idea about what to give to a new born baby, a deposit to the baby’s 529 account. Seriously.
• My Money Blog suggested that Morningstar’s stewardship rating is better than the stars it rewards funds and stocks. I usually don’t look at a fund’s star rating and that’s probably the reason I didn’t notice the stewardship rating.
