Yesterday was the first day of spring, which makes me happy. It seems my wife and I always spend less money in the summers because we do so much outdoors: going on walks, going to parks, hiking, etc.
Summer in Colorado is beautiful, especially in the mountains.
This week was particularly interesting with the Bear Stearns debacle on Monday. Who knew you could lose billions over the weekend?
The reports of recession seem to be getting more frequent. One business school professor said the Fed’s recent rate cuts were “the desperate acts of failing men.”
Stuff to think about.
Closer to home, my post Why People Stay in Debt got swamped with traffic from StumbleUpon, which was pretty cool. There were over 500 unique visitors to that article in only two days this week. I hope the people who read the article took it to heart. Reading is good; taking action is better.
This week, I participated in 144th Carnival of Personal Finance, as well as the 131st Carnival of Debt Reduction. What’s more, the 132nd Carnival of Debt Reduction will be hosted HERE on Monday, March 24, 2008.
If you’d like to participate in the Carnival, please submit your blog posts by Sunday afternoon.
Speaking of Sunday, enjoy the holiday weekend! (And if you really want to challenge your thinking, you can read Why Easter Sucks here.)

Love with you done with the theme. As far as the Fed I mean the economy had been so good for so long it was part of the cycle for it be like this. Keep up the good work!
