Here are a couple of blog posts that I have especially liked, courtesy of The Simple Dollar and I Will Teach You To Be Rich.

• If You Ask “What’s the Monthly Payment?” You’re Asking the Wrong Question - Trent at The Simple Dollar points out that people who only care about the monthly payment do not understand the actual cost. He also points out that paying with cash is by far the cheapest and therefore the best method for buying a car.

• 10 Links To Walk You Through Today’s Financial Crisis - Ramit at I Will Teach You To Be Rich has a fantastic group of links to get you through your day. I enjoyed this post very much, but was upset to see one of the links where Ramit tried to justify his purchase of a brand new car as being the best financial decision, and then he advocated that people take out loans to purchase their cars. He is not teaching anyone to be rich with that example.
• Getting Things Done by David Allen - I’m about half way done with this popular book that spurred the GTD lifestyle that is apparent all over the internet. It’s got a lot of good ideas in it, and I will probably discuss it further when I finish.
