In looking back and many of my posts, tweets and comments on other blogs, I seem like a cranky bastard. Many of my writings would fall into the “complaints” category. Sure, there’s a lot to complain about right now, but my energy could be directed in a more productive manner. It’s good occasionally to step back and assess what’s important. I am gainfully employed. I have my health. I have a wonderful family. And we haven’t screwed up our finances. Life is good.
With that backdrop, since it’s been a couple weeks since my last roundup, here are several of my favorite posts from money writers around the world, as well as a recap of stuff I’ve written that you may enjoy at the end.

That’s some good self reflection Darwin! I liked the one you Tweeted on someone taking advantage of unemployment just now. Smart of her with a new baby!
