Plenty of great posts from the last week:
Investing
Monevator has an excellent discussion of owning vs. loaning.
Bargaineering asks who is the best brokerage for an IRA?
ABCs of Investing explains limit orders.
Taxes
From my tax blog, one old and one new:
- How do I file taxes when I lived and worked in two states last year?
- The rules for investing in a Roth IRA
Yielding Wealth brings up possible changes to the home mortgage interest deduction. (Personally, I hope they axe the whole thing.)
Personal Finance
Wealth Pilgrim discusses why we always fall into the trap of thinking “this time is different” whether the market is going up or down. (My interpretation: It’s because it is different. It’s always different. But that doesn’t mean the bear–or bull–market won’t end.)
Moneyning shares a personal experience teaching us why it’s important to check our bank statements.
FiveCentNickel shares some inspiration from his 11-year old son regarding reaching your savings goals. This is probably my favorite post of the week.
Enjoy! And have a wonderful weekend.

Thanks for the link! Even though I don’t really have a problem with the mortgage changes.
Great resources, as always.
