Joe Pinsker has a very interesting article about lowering spending by increasing the pain of spending. In the end, I’m suspicious that making yourself feel pain about all spending isn’t sustainable. Somehow we need to feel fine about sensible spending and feel pain for dumb spending.
Condo Essentials has a list of signs that will allow you to spot a bad condo before you buy it. I’m not a big fan of buying overpriced condos, but you should at least check for these problems before diving in.
Canadian Couch Potato compares bond ETFs to GICs for retirees.

ReplyDeleteThanks for posting the article on spending tracking. I've tried tracking my eating out and felt guilty for going over budget. Then i didn't track it and i felt it increased. Now i will try tracking again. I liked Ariely's suggestion to record it before you spend it. Good to pay attention to frictionless spending like amazon iclick.
ReplyDelete@Christina: Ariely is a very smart guy. I hope his ideas work for you.
