October, Hello Ebola, Give Blood and #theBestFin4TheWeek
October arrived unexpectedly this week, almost unnoticed. As we have entered the final (calendar) quarter of the year 2014, it may be time to start considering a year-end review of your financial plans.
The best question asked a few weeks ago was, “How long until there is an EBOLA vaccine and cure?”, the answer is, “About 50 infected rich white guys”. Now that the virus has landed in North America, will the speed of finding a cure increase? EBOLA is now on the North American continent, not sure what this means, but it does make for sensational headlines, doesn’t it?
Hong Kong is full of folks demonstrating, let us hope it ends better than previous “democracy” demonstrations in China. We really don’t need another Tank Man, or any of the other events that followed The Memory of Tiananmen 1989 (PBS Link). This site is already “blocked” in China (I have checked), so I don’t think I am in danger of that, however, I do note I get a lot of “illegal access” messages from Shang Hai, and Beijing (must be fans of mine?).
For those DIY Tech folks out there, should you ever break off the pin from your headphones in the jack of your iPad, all you need to fix it is a Q-tip and Krazy Glue. The video is at the bottom of this article (yes, I really did it, and it worked).
Canadian Blood Services, really needs donors, if you haven’t given lately, time to drop by, the blood supply is dangerously low!
My Writings for Week Ending October 3rd
Thanksgiving for Canada is next weekend, and that can mean only 1 thing, bad turkey puns, and lots of talk of Christmas.
- Autumn , United Kingdom, Beer Money, and #theBestFin4TheWeek some of the best from last week.
- Most of the information I found on my Equifax report was right, but my name is kind of wrong, as I outline in Equifax and Their Information
- On occasion I write blatantly obvious statements, in hope they cause folks to go, “Oh, yeh!”, and that was my hope with Best Way to Save Your Money
- I am a person who learns better from concrete examples showing me what would happen (money wise) if I started putting money in my child’s RESP, and that was my goals with RESP from Start to Spend, to create a concrete example to show how it is better to start early.
