Mondays I usually write about money.
A few weeks ago, I was thinking about how to explain investing to residents, should the invitation to speak to a group about financial matters actually come through. I still have to figure out how I want to present stocks and bonds, but don’t quite have the energy to do that this week. Maybe next week.
Instead, I decided to feature some posts that caught my eye over the past few months. Considering that it is Armistice Day today, an international theme seems to be in order.
Every time I grind my teeth over my rising utility bills, I think I will need to refer to this post from Halt Catch Fire. HCF writes about When Necessities Become Luxuries. Reading this post makes me quite grateful for the heat and electricity I am paying for.
For those who feel they couldn’t possibly manage without this or that staple of American life, travel can be a real eye-opening experience. The Frugal Physician writes about her early impressions of the USA as an immigrant, in 10 Things That Blow This Immigrant’s Mind.
Keeping with the emerging theme of considering non-USA perspectives, I very much appreciated this post from Katie Scarlett, discussing whether the 4% safe withdrawal rate applies to those in developing countries.
Lastly, to end on a lighter note, here is a reprint from Mental Floss, via Pocket, 38 wonderful words with no English equivalent.
What are you up to today?
Thank you for including me. Good luck on the presentation!
Thank you for stopping by!
