A friend knows that I am always on the lookout for interesting sites where folks give lectures explaining things. He suggested that I check out the Khan Academy. It appears to offer a wealth of information on virtually every topic. I have included a two-part video on Wealth Destruction from Housing Bubbles. It is at least thought-provoking. I will open the floor to others to discuss whether it is correct or not. Go to the bottom of this post to find the videos.
Part 1: Wealth Destruction
I strongly suggest you check out my Twitter Feed. I have been told it is quite entertaining. I will also attempt to add my own personal commentary on life in there. What did you miss if you haven't subscribed yet? Here is a taste of some of the OBG (Oldie but Goody) gems I posted:
- In my early days, I used to brag about my prowess at installing computer equipment. I did this as I mentioned here with Investment: High Tech. Spoiler alert: it has nothing to do with investing.
- Having sat on both sides of the hiring "experience." One pet peeve of mine is when people think "business casual" means wearing shorts and flip-flops to an interview. Thus, I ranted Job Hunting Hints: Dress for the Job Fair.
- I do have a sister blog where I write occasionally. On this blog, I write about the business of blogging. Thus, Guest Posts: Please Stop the Madness addressed those who wish to write a guest post on this esteemed tome.
- In 2009 One in Seven of us Was a Senior Citizen, that number is decreasing (quickly) (i.e. we are all getting older).
- The Quarterly Financial Status Report is an old idea of mine. You publish a quarterly financial status report, usually to your spouse, to force yourself to figure out where you stand. This will help you feel more financially in control.
- One of my most brutally honest posts is my Top 5 Investing Regrets. You should read it. Don’t make the same dumb-ass moves I have made in my life.
Will have to check out Khan Academy! Business casual has always seemed like a ill-phrased term to me…there’s nothing casual about it. That doesn’t excuse not knowing what it means, though. Following on twitter! 🙂
I’ve always been meaning to check out the Khan Academy more some day. It seems like such a cool concept to be sharing so much quality knowledge like that. Unfortunately it’s just tough to fit that into a busy life. I’m gonna have to go on a learning binge when I’m more caught up on things.
I’d say do 1 or 2 topics a week and that is good enough. I have watched a bunch of the finance stuff and am watching a few of the Math ones as well, really good stuff, just time consuming!
