Kids and Money Round-Up: Money Management International is an awesome resource for all things related to financial literacy and they have created a new character, the Money Bunny, to help teach kids about money. Here they’ve compiled a list of other great resources, including ten tips from yours truly.
The Family That Saves Together: A great example of how children can learn to think about money wisely when parents are proactive.
How Much of Your Finances Should You Automate?: I’ve written before that I’m a big fan of Ramit Sethi and his book and blog. He’s all about completely automating your finances to help you save more. But I’m also a huge fan of Adam Baker, and he has some great reasons not to automate everything.
Eat, Pray, Spend: This is an insightful article about what the author calls the “priv-lit” genre, where women are encouraged to spend money and ditch their responsibilities in search of wellness and enlightenment. I love how Eat, Pray, Love is referred to as “Wealthy, Whiny, White”. Definitely reflects my sentiments about the book.
But Will It Make You Happy?: The New York Times examines people rejecting consumerism in favor of simplicity during this recession and the relationship between “stuff” and happiness.
Your Lifestyle Has Already Been Designed: Why is it than when we make more money, we spend more money? A look at the American culture of consumerism.
Walk Away From Your Underwater Home and Get An iPad: This story makes my stomach turn. It’s a perfect picture of what’s wrong with our country’s attitude towards money.
And that’s what works for me this week.
