A few nuggets from the personal finance blogosphere, including the funniest thing I've read all week, courtesy of Ima Saver (a rare 60plus-year-old blogger BTW):
"We have a person who thinks we just love his company at dinner. We don't, we want to be alone and not have to talk about his house building."
Not sure why that makes me laugh so much. Here's another amusing line, from My Open Wallet:
"…the deli where I buy my morning coffee and bagel gave me an extra 20 cents in change. I noticed it at the time, but didn't say anything. Not because I am a dishonest sleazy person but because there have been a couple times in the past where they short-changed me and I figure this evens the score a little."
Finally a nice story from J.D. at Get Rich Slowly about his dad and what his dad handed down. Hard to grab a quote out, but here's a little something:
"In fourth grade, in order to generate money for new comic books, I took my old comics to school and sold them. I took my Star Wars trading cards and repackaged the doubles, selling each thick bundle for twenty-five cents each. I sold my old Hardy Boys books to buy new ones."
