I learned a valuable lesson during April: a month-long series cramps my style. As much as I liked Michael’s videos about saving and investing, I look forward to freeing the “money hacks” slot in order to, well, share some money hacks! This month was notable for some great discussions in the comments of entries such as these:
- Apr. 1st: Lifestyles of the rich and stupid
- Apr. 4th: Ask the readers: When does this all pay off?
- Apr. 9th: Real-life choices: Retirement savings vs. debt reduction
- Apr. 11th: What should a billionaire give, and what should you?
- Apr. 13th: How one father taught his son about money (a reader story)
- Apr. 18th: How to fight the urge to splurge
- Apr. 21st: An introduction to square-foot gardening
- Apr. 25th: Which should you choose: Joint or separate finances?
- Apr. 27th: Ask the readers: How much should I spend on an engagement ring?

For me, month-long series only work if I define them VERY carefully in advance - and usually I have most of them written before the month even starts. Week-long series are much better.

I don’t like online videos. In fact, after several years of using CNN as my default news page, I’m looking for a replacement because of CNN’s increasing reliance on video reports instead of text. From a dozen major headlines, at least 4 usually link to videos — which means that if the headline looks interesting, I have to go elsewhere for details.
I think online videos tend to be gratuitous, and I don’t watch them. I didn’t watch Michael’s. Just offered as a data point…
