‘Thinking About Buying: Making Better Purchases’ – Barry Ritholtz – The Big Picture
- There is some perception online that bigger ticket purchases are only feasible for the very wealthy. In Barry’s post, he writes about how you don’t need to be overly wealthy to buy a brand new car, for example.
‘The Reach for Yield: Is it Really Worth It?’ – Ben Carlson – A Wealth of Common Sense
- There’s a constant obsession for a lot of people trying to find the highest yield for their money. Ben writes about how at some banks, jumping through a ton of hoops for an extra percent of interest may not be worth it.
