Top 10 blog articles: November 15-21, 2010

I’ve had a pretty busy week. Started working on some projects, am preparing to sell some of the sites, have also had a hard time conquering a city on Grepolis (yes, I waste time with online games too). The weather has been amazingly warm, it’s 20+ degrees Celsius, perfect for April, not November. Anyway, since I’ve always hated the winter, you can guess it was pretty nice to walk in the city in my t-shirt only.

Even if busy with all the stuff, I still took time to visit DAILY some of my favourite blogs and try to keep my bookmarks in good shape. From all the reading and visiting, here is the 10 links to articles I really think you should read. Enjoy!

• Accomplish More by Doing Less – nope, Joe hasn’t lost his minds. Just read the article and you’ll see he is right. Working like crazy is not always the solution. Taking a moment off to gain perspective might do the trick better.
• How Much Is Your Drinking Costing You? – from being a “social” thing, drink can really become a pain in the … wallet. Have you ever stopped to think how much this costs you?
• The Cost of Smoking – if we talk about how bad habits ruin our personal finances, we can’t forget smoking. If this article won’t convince smokers to quit, I don’t know what will.
• Someone is after Your Social Security Number – be advised. Be careful. A very detailed article about how to prevent this from happening to you.
• What’s the deal – Smart car? – we take time off from personal finance and other problems and talk about some serious differences between how Europeans and Americans see the ideal car. What makes Smart successful anyway?
• The Emergency Fund Fallacy – is an emergency fund necessary? Should we gain a better perspective?
• My Christmas Shopping Strategy – during the holidays we all go overboard with everything: eating, spending etc. Here is a good plan to spend less money during Christmas.
• Happy Cancer-versary to me! – I find this article to be truly inspiring and I’d like you to read it too.
• 5 Reasons Why I Want to Get out of Debt – another inspiring article, when it comes to solving our financial problems.
• Change, New Year’s Resolutions and the Need to Act Today – I’ve changed some of my bad habits on January 1st, on my birthday or other occasions. Still, the best way is to act now and not wait for days/months to do it.
