Frankly Frugal Finance: Weekender Edition #2

IMAG0067The week went by so quickly, but here is the weekend!  That means it is time for a quick recap of some of this weeks articles around the web.  Now remember, this isn’t all of the articles that I have enjoyed throughout the week (I am going to try to get better at posting them on twitter as I find them), but I usually add the blogger to my blog roll if I like what I read (although I should have been a bit better at saving some links).

You’re Either Growing Together or Growing Apart

Eric @ Big Money Guy reminds us that we are all growing, but that we need to actively choose to grow in the same direction otherwise we will grow apart.  It is a very thoughtful and insightful post.

Go All In or be a Trickler

Dividend Gravy is looking for advice on how to handle his upcoming rollover from his employer retirement plan.  He is also retiring in a couple of months as well!  So even if you do not have any advice, go over and congratulate him!  Retirement is basically the “end game” so to speak in personal finance in my opinion.

ROTH IRA Horse Race

Mad FIentist had a great post for me because I am planning on using the ROTH IRA ladder in my early retirement strategy.  This method basically allows you to minimize your future tax liability by picking the winning horse each year.  It is simple but brilliant!

To Get Ahead Get Started

Ryan @ Impersonal Finance out together a great post for anyone just starting in the personal finance realm, or really at any task in general.  You don’t magically get from point A to point B, you just simply start.  In time you will reach your goals, hopefully sooner rather than later.

All Debt is Risk

Dee @ Color Me Frugal has a great topic regarding debt.  No matter where you are at those monthly obligations will haunt you and I believe it is essentially to free yourself from debt for early retirement.  Cash flow is key and the lower your required cash flow will be, the greater the flexibility you will have to do what you want to do.  My plan is to personally pay off all debt including mortgage by age 40 as I talked about in my initial goals post.

Enjoy the weekend and come back next week!
