Hockey Time it is!
Now that the regular season is over we now can play some real hockey, with new rules and extend the season by 2.5 months! Only in Hockey do you see a sport change entirely once the playoffs begin, and the refs refuse to call penalties that were always called in the regular season, but now we are letting the boys plays (which translates to letting the boys cheat). I’m sure financial institutions would love to see the same cessation of rules in the 4th fiscal quarter, so they can try to recuperate their losses, without having to worry about silly laws and such.
Spring time also brings racoons and skunks digging up my front lawn, and the removal of my snow tires, which both happened this week as well. If I could get the skunks to remove my snowtires, I might save some money, but that is for next year now.
What did I write this week?
- How Much Water Do I Use? always an important question.
- Stress and Money how stressful is your financial situation?
- Pensions and Disabled Children are these two topics connected? Yes, they are.
- March Unemployment Remains the Same for March in 2010 a quieter financial time.
- Random Thoughts: A Financial Haiku A Financial Haiku Money badly spent Far too many regrets to count Guilt of spending hurts There you go, for those of you who feel that sometimes my content is a little too low brow.
What was new in the financial blogosphere this week? Some funny stuff and the new iPad as well:
- Preet at WhereDoesAllMyMoneyGo celebrated the purchase My New iPhone Macro where he shows off this new devices capabilities. The next day he says that the new iPad is not for everyone, what?!?!? But it is for me, right?
- The Canadian Capitalist points out some Fun Tax Facts no wonder I don’t like salty bread!
- Michael James told a story yesterday of A Sign of Imminent Personal Financial Disaster with a chilling tale of buying groceries in the U.S.
- Remember it’s almost tax time and Canadian Financial DIY has a Review and Ratings of Canadian Online Tax Software: 2009 Taxes Edition, very useful stuff for those still procrastinating.
Spring away!
Oh and for my American readers, I really hope you got your taxes in yesterday, because the IRS is watching!
