Quotable...

My Open Wallet:

"I think standard of living can't just be judged by comparing year to year averages. At any given time, it's also about where people see themselves in relation to their peers, and how hard they have to work to stay there."

Mapgirl:

"...once you've had it doing tech support, you've had it. You're done. You're toast. 5 years of technical support is a long time. I had burned out once before after doing lots of 24-hour support work and I finally was in a position to find a new line of work as a programmer. After 2 years at this particular firm, it was time to go. I wasn't going to sit around waiting for another client having a bad hair day to scream at me."

Writer @ Large, on one aspect of dave ramsey's Total Money Makeover:

"In short: blow money is there so that the TMM doesn't totally suck. "

Finally, one last link to CramerWatch, which pits a lowly monkey against investing hero Jim Cramer to see whose stocks come up bigger. You may not be surprised to find that the monkey holds his own.
