I saw
The Waitress this weekend. I liked it a lot. Very cute, and endearing, if not a little bit depressing. But overall I really enjoyed watching it.
So, while I'm not very good at writing reviews, I would highly recommend this movie to a friend.
So, I've been looking at a lot of financial planning/personal finance blogs and and websites, but it's been hard to determine what is worthwhile. So, I encourage any input from people who come across my blog...help me sort out what's useful and what isn't!
I did come across one page (because I'm too lazy to remove myself from monster.com mailing lists, even though I'm really happy with my job!) There was a link entitled
Six Tips to Put Your Financial House in Order. It's a start, and I'll definitely look more at other information from Suze Orman (like her
yahoo site and her
book-related site). I guess
Yahoo Finance has a lot of information, as does
CNN Money. I guess I'm trying to find out how to better save money for the short term, as well as the long term (i.e. for retirement), where best to invest, and a better plan of action (pay off student loans before getting an IRA account? And then, a Roth or Traditional IRA?).
I really look forward to any input people can provide, and I'll be willing to dole out the information I've so far collected. Granted, I don't know everything, but I've started talking with people, and I've read Suze Orman's
Young, Fabulous & Broke and am reading
The Wealthy Barber.
Let's see where this takes us.
So, it's yet again been a long time since I've posted. I've been working for a month shy of a year now, and things are going pretty well. I really want to start posting again, especially since I have a new angle for posting...I'm gearing my posts more to the after-college experience (which makes sense, since I've been out of school for almost a year!) I'll still respond to questions about MIT and college and stuff, but I think I'm going to start discussing what things are like after college. Granted, I don't know everything yet, but updates on my life that include more about Boston and neighboring cities (because now I have a chance to visit places a lot more), reviewing movies and restaurants and other experiences. I'll also try to discuss what sort of resources I've found regarding personal finances. It seems like these days there are simple lessons that people (including me) just don't learn. I've been reading a lot of books and discussing finances with friends and colleagues, and hopefully people out in the "
blogosphere" will have input about personal finances as well. At least that's my hope...maybe someone with a lot of knowledge about stuff like that will find my blog and comment or email me and we can get more than just my thoughts out here.
Well, let's see if I hold true to this promise.
