1. Fox Business has an article about raising financially savvy kids. It’s from back in 2005, but it still applies today if not more than back then. Regardless of our thoughts on the issue, financial concepts are not taught in our current educational system. Most of what young people learn about finances come from the example they see in their family. It may behoove us to ask ourselves what we’re teaching those around us about money management.

2. Fiscal Musings Throwback: Back in May of last year I asked the question, Are You an Investor or Speculator? At that time, real estate was still booming and the stock market was experiencing fantastic gains. Going by the definition I provided in this post, I would submit that true investors are still making money in the current market while the great number of speculators are losing their shirts and worrying.

3. Advanced Personal Finance has a great post up about the reality of negative real interest rates. I especially like the fact that it was looked at from multiple points of view for people in different situations.
