Holy Crap! It’s a Roundup – 12/01/08

For your information, I just woke up from my Thanksgiving dinner comatose.

Now you would think that waking up after a 3 day slumber will result in a feeling of well-rested-ness-ish (uh whats the word I’m looking for?), but to be honest I feel pretty crappy — as if I’ve been laying in the same position for hours and days on end. Too weird.

Here are some reads from the blogsphere and beyond that I bookmarked while in my dreamlike robotic state:

• Be wary of high-yielding “CDs” offered by non-bank firms – Marketwatch
• Responding from relatives who wants money – Alpha Consumer
• Finding bargain gift cards – The Smarter Wallet
• Your financial network map – Blueprint for Financial Prosperity

Found on Tip’d financial news portal:

• Citibank rate increases and opt-out notice – CreditAddict post up the notice Citi’s been giving out to many of their customers, letting them know that Citi’s jacking up the interest rates — just in time as a holiday gift. Urgh.
• 8 bad things you’re teaching kids about money – A guest post on MoneyNing covers some of the bad things you might be inadvertently teaching your kid, although a few seems like a stretch.  Then again I’m no parent so what would I know?

Financial quotes from 30 Rock:

• What would this country be if we don’t allow the wealthy people to take advantage of rubes? – Kenneth to Jack

You know what? I bet if I sleep normal hours on my own bed, I’ll wake up well rested, giving me an extra 10% XP bonus as I pwn up raiders, super mutants, and Enclave soldiers.

Uh… ignore that last part.
