My favorites from this week:
Investing
Wealth Pilgrim discusses bone-head financial mistakes and how to move beyond them.
ABCs of Investing explains Dividend Yield.
Investing School explains exchange traded funds (ETFs)
Taxes
TaxGirl is (justifiably) angry. She asks, “Does anyone in DC pay their taxes?”
From my tax blog: LLC vs. S-Corp vs. C-Corp (the 3-minute version)
Personal Finance
Monevator applies the concept of compound interest to salary. Gives a new (quantitative) perspective to the phrase “invest in yourself.” 
FiveCentNickel discusses automating your finances.
Bargaineering asks whether or not it’s worth it to shop around for an extra 0.5% yield on your savings account. My vote: Nope!
Frugal Dad asks whether or not parents should help their kids with paying off credit card debt.
Economy
Mint.com has a wonderful visual guide to inflation.
BadMoneyAdvice explains that–depending upon your financial situation–you may already be prepared to deal with inflation.
Humor
Have a nice weekend, and thank you for reading.

I came over from Moneyning. Just wanted to say, “Hi”. It is always good to get to know other people in the field.
Your thoughts also follow the MMO market. I get tons of emails from people wanting me to buy their program for internet marketing, because they made $100,000 in 6-months. I haven’t bought one yet, because I’m very skepitcal.
If they are making that kind of money, why do they want $1,500. I realize if you put time and effor into something you don’t want to give it away for free, but what they are charging just makes me way to suspecious. Good friends of mine did something similar. They paid over $10,000 and didn’t make a dime.
I have purchased some tools, but they were much, much less expensive and I wanted to help the affiliates out. They had been helping me, after all.
Anyway, look forward to reading your posts.
