Just finished listening to this podcast this morning, while driving to the train station on the way to work. Was very good to listen to, sounded like you’ve been a guest lots of podcasts and phone-ins before.

Ha! I had no idea two cats were battling on your lap during the interview. I enjoyed our conversation, and hopefully so will your readers.

Yours,

Despite having cats battling it our on your lap, I thought you spoke very well in your interview.

Thanks for putting up that link to the 8 tips for the newly independent. It’s an article that everyone should read before heading out into the world. I know that I’ll be using some of the tips in my own life.

Loved your comments on battle for your lap by your cats :lol

Oh, and PS: You were pretty good too in your interview. I like how your writing and speaking makes me think you are relatable and an “every man”. I’ll listen to that way over pompous blowhards any day of the week.

I’ve had a few interviews myself in these first few months of blogging and I still get nervous before each of them. I was hoping to hear from a seasoned media guy such as yourself that it gets easier - guess I’ll just have to get more comfortable with the process!

Great roundup - I enjoyed the piece over at No Credit Needed because keeping your whole family on board with your financial goals makes things so much easier. I’m the gung-ho one around our house trying to rally everyone to stay on the same page, financially. I even tell my wife and kids these cheesy sayings like, “The family that saves together, stays together!” OK, so that’s a little over the top, but you get the idea.

Very interesting article by Von Mises, even if at first I thought of Richard von Mises being that I am an engineer.

I really liked that it took everything a bit deeper and explained to me more clearly the different effects of government actions on the economy. I think I now have a better understanding of what fed interest rate cuts and bank loans are doing to the economy.

One interesting line was ” the world will never work itself out of the present inflationary era until it returns to the gold standard.” I am curious how far we have gone from the gold standard. With the rise in the cost of gold how much more would the government need to equal it back out.

Finally, if the government would follow alot of their own advice and be more “frugal” then it could help out even if it hurt in the short term.

What are you talking about, you’re not good at interviewing?! Posh. I thought you were great! You sound like all of my programmer friends here in Seattle… very smart and talkative and informed. That was a great listen

Always interesting to hear a bloggers actual voice. I listened to a bit of the podcast. I thought you sounded great and came across well.

J.D the “personal assistant” that is shown on your lap looks very prosperous and in control of the situation. The article on including the entire family in finances was interesting. It is amazing what concepts kids can grasp and it is never to soon to start them out on the right path. We have been teaching our kids about saving and budgeting - want vs. need. I hope they learn and don’t make the costly mistakes that my husband and I have made.
