WSA adsense code -->This week I liked:

- A reminder that “my” car isn’t actually mine. @ Not Living on Ramen - I hate gifts with strings. If it’s mine I can do what I want with it, otherwise it’s yours and I’m borrowing it.
- A Hedge Fund Manager on Subprime: 3 Lessons in Investing @ The Honest Dollar - A neat explanation of the subprime crisis and how it was allowed to happen
- You’re Young So You Should Get Rich @ Schaefer’s Blog - A round-up of links, but my favourite line is “There is no secret.”
- No Credit Needed Podcast Episode 2 Of 2008 @ No Credit Needed Podcast - So, if you don’t want to read, but prefer to listen instead check out NCN’s podcast, there are some excellent suggestions for getting more organised financially and he has a very smooth, relaxed voice
- In the Presence of Humble Greatness: Muhammed Yunus Comes to Town @ Money Changes Things - The wideboy I sit opposite at work has family in Bangladesh, and he thinks microfinance inventor, Muhammed Yunus, is a legend, so it’s not just the sensible ones. If you want to get involved in microfinance, check out kiva.org. I’m currently lending money to an Azerbaijani minibus business.

Thanks for the mention!
Thanks, great roundup!
The Kiva investing is really interesting to me. I would like to hear from those that have done it and how the process turned out.
@RacerX:
I’ve had good experiences with Kiva - I’ll try and get round to writing a post about them.
I love Kiva. I’m currently lending to a Samoan woman trying to grow her Taro chips business, and a Mexican woman trying to expand her store. All payments have been on time. Been a member since last summer…
I saw Yunus on Colbert last week - excellent job. There is a lot of criticism for microcredit, but I think it’s generally a good thing.
Thanks for the link to my post! I felt a little awkward writing that one; I was afraid I’d come off as someone with an inflated sense of entitlement. It’s nice to know someone liked it.
@E.C.
I don’t think you have an inflated sense of entitlement at all. I’d be annoyed if I was you.
