Hey there F2P readers! I’m pleased to say that my post for today is over at Debt Discipline where fellow PF blogger Brian asked me some interesting questions, including what my dream job would be, what recent purchase I've come to regret and what my best piece of advice might be for Debt Discipline readers.
Read MoreI omitted a material element in my previous post on how accumulating liquid courage in the form of savings can help us rethink the stakes in a negotiation.
What did I omit? Creating multiple streams of income.
Read MoreA recent post by J. Money over at Budgets Are Sexy called “11 Awesome Money Ideas!” provided some unique and creative ideas from fellow readers of his blog on how to help us think differently about money, all thanks to clever actions dreamed up by these eleven contributors.

OK. I'm paraphrasing. Of course I’m not talking about an actual baby. I’m talking about the first draft of a writing project I’ve been working on.
