1. With all the politics going on right now, perhaps you’d like to take a look at some of the candidate’s finances. CNN Money has a bit called Millionaires in Chief and goes through seven of the candidates. Interesting to know for sure, but the suggestions at the end are kind of useless. They’ve obviously done rather well for themselves on their own.

2. This time of year a major focus is on giving. An article at MSN Money, however, talks about the financial benefits of giving. Give and Grow Rich mostly covers the issue of tax deductions for charitable contributions. It’s one thing to already know this, but another to know the details of what’s allowed and what isn’t.

3. This Christmas, one gift has certainly garnered most of the attention. I’m speaking here of the Nintendo Wii. And Mrs. Micah goes into a discussion about whether the lack of Wiis will drive demand for other gaming systems. I have to say that I believe it is, but I don’t think that Nintendo is intentionally keeping the supply low. An interesting read if you’re caught up in the Wii craze.

4. Another Fiscal Musings Throwback (FMT): Way back when, I explained why I don’t keep an income statement for myself. I also explain how I handle all my income. The process is simple and doesn’t require any budgeting or spreadsheets. It ensures a positive financial future, plain and simple.

And now for a little humour for the weekend. I recently posted a video at The Milk Crate that you may have already seen, but I laugh every time anyway. You can’t help but laugh as well because the newscasters just won’t stop laughing. Anyway, check it out.
