By Pinyo, on April 12, 2009

I know a lot of you have been following Larry Swedroe’s work and I want to let you know that Larry has launched his own blog at CBS Money Watch called Wise Investing — please check it out.

Congratulation Larry, and thank you for all your help over the years!

The Roundup

Before starting the roundup, I want to shout out to a few friends The Canadian Capitalist and Million Dollar Journey who created and launched the Canadian Money Forum recently.

• Should you rollover your 401k into an annuity or IRA? at Gather Little By Little — This is an Ask The M-Network question that tackles a common retirement investing question.
• Gym Membership or Home Gym Equipment? The Cost Factor at Uncommon Cents — An examination of a common problem. This is why I only do push ups and sit ups at home.
• Can You Afford a Baby? at Prime Time Money — A good article for parents to be.
• I Made $1,000 Today In The Stock Market!!! at MyBarnabas — I don’t recommend buying individual stocks, but stories like this one is interesting nonetheless.
• 7 Things To Know About a SEP IRA at Good Financial Cents — If you have a SEP IRA account or thinking about setting up one, this is a great article to read. There’s still 3 days left to April 15 so it’s not too late if you want to set one up.
• Debt Snowball, Debt Shmowball … as long as you’re RICH! at How to Make 7 Million in 7 Years™ — I don’t always agree with AJC, but he made a good point about good debt versus bad debt that I intend to write a follow up on.
• The Final Decision on Downsizing at My Dollar Plan — If you have been considering downsizing your house to save money, read this.
• More Car Company Thoughts at Four Pillars — A Canadian thought on our economic crisis and the auto industry bailout
• Is Changing Your Own Oil Worth It? at Cash Money Life — I don’t change my own oil. I don’t think it’s worth it. Do you?
