http://www.iwillteachyoutoberi...2006/04/all_about_mutua_1.html	Date: 4/19/2006 1:40 PM

This is a repost from a January 2005 article I wrote about mutual funds. Read this, ask questions, and we'll continue on with the financial makeover. Most adults in America invest in some kind of mutual fund. They’re an easy,...

I can't wait to see this movie

http://www.iwillteachyoutoberi...es/2006/04/i_cant_wait_to.html	Date: 4/18/2006 12:07 PM

I'm not really a big dork who only talks about personal finance in real life. Actually, my friends make fun of me because I only like big huge blockbusters. But I'm trying to change that, so I can't wait to...

Oprah isn't ashamed of her money

http://www.iwillteachyoutoberi...s/2006/04/oprah_isnt_asha.html	Date: 4/17/2006 6:18 PM

I have mixed feelings about this article: Oprah Winfrey: 'Wealth is a Good Thing'. Maybe it's more about the choice of words than anything else. Also, I'm going to be reposting my articles on investing in stocks and bonds. Read...

An interesting story about credit card companies

http://www.iwillteachyoutoberi...es/2006/04/an_interesting.html	Date: 4/7/2006 12:34 PM

I've been trying to decide whether to invest in Capital One for a long time and, you know, looking strictly at the financials, it would have been a nice investment: They recruited heavily at Stanford, got some very good people,...

My minimum payment is $22 and that is absurd

http://www.iwillteachyoutoberi...s/2006/04/my_minimum_paym.html	Date: 4/7/2006 11:33 AM

I'm paying off my credit card bill online right now, and the amount is $1,473. The minimum payment is only $22.00. In other words, I only have to pay 1.5% of what I owe right now. How sweet of you,...

2006 is already 25% over. Around mid-February, people start to forget their New Year's resolutions, or they start rationalizing them away: "Well, I'll go to the gym next week but I'm so busy this week" blah blah blah. I'm going...
