Personal Finance Review – First Birthday Edition
June 17, 2007
We celebrated our son’s first birthday a little early yesterday with a birthday bash. Although he didn’t really know what was going on I think he had a good time. He had his own little birthday cake that he dug into; it was fun watching him enjoy the icing while managing to get it all over everything.
One lesson we learned is to go easy on the cake for one year olds. All the sugar kept him up and hyper long past his bedtime, oh well; you only turn 1 year old once. Here are some recent money articles I enjoyed.
-Binary Dollar brings up umbrella insurance. It’s a relatively low cost way to protect yourself from liability suits.
-Free Money Finance has an article any homeowner should read on property taxes.
-The Digerati Life rebalances her investment portfolio.
-Five Cent Nickel lets us in on a little tax arbitrage secret.
-Sun’s Financial Diary covers how your credit score affects your insurance rates.
-Art of Money has a helpful spreadsheet for evaluating money making projects.
-Moneyning talks about budgeting and the cost of wedding happiness.
-Get Rich Slowly has an interesting post on getting more out of life by overcoming your fears.
Happy father’s day to all the dad’s out there!

Congratulations! (They grow up fast, don’t they?)
I’m glad you enjoyed my post and congratulations on your son’s 1 year birthday.
I’m not a parent yet but I heard that you shouldn’t try to give your child too many sweets since they will get used to the sugar and then will always want those types of food (soda, candy, cake etc) instead of the healthier ones. Actually I think this applies to adults like me too 🙂
