I absolutely love reading “Millionaire in the Making” on CNN Money. I find it very motivating to read how others are doing. The latest article highlights Christopher Ortega and Alicia McDonald. They are a couple that have known each other since high school and they both appear to have similiar money motivations.

I’ve been playing around with listing a collection of personal finance links. You can find them over at: http://myfinancelinks.blogspot.com . I haven’t been terribly consistent about adding links, but it is building a significant listing of personal finance related links. There are 90+ links there now and I’ll keep building.

I’m trying to put up a daily list of personal finance links that I find or that are submitted on the “MyFinanceLinks” site. There are a new round of them today. Go check them out! If you have any articles you think would fit there, send them and I’ll get them up the next day. I’m hoping to build a fairly long index of personal

I’m a big fan of http://www.fark.com. The beauty of the site is that lots of people submit interesting articles of all kinds to the site. I created another blog to allow all of us to submit interesting personal finance articles. Once a day, I’ll compile all the submissions and post them.

You just might get a raise this year. Article talks about how “raise” freezes

http://money.cnn.com/2005/07/25/pf/millionaire/rp_johnson/index.htm CNN Money has a new Millionaire in the making profile. These folks are doing VERY well. Might have something to do with their very nice income level, but it’s obviously also due to their aggressive savings rates. I know most people that make their income level, also spend at that level. Congratulations to them for figuring this out early! Check it out
