New material

Well it has been a while since my last post.  Part has been personal and part has been time and direction.  I think I have figured out the time and the direction - personal issue is mostly resolved so here we go!

I have decided to focus on money, finance, personal finance and things related to retirement and investing.  

Now, as usual you need a disclaimer her, as though I have a financial background, I am offering only opinion and/or data I have gathered from others and am not offering advice for a fee nor offering investment products or services through this blog site.  

I will periodically make comment about the world around me and I how I see things in the world of money.  I hope others are fascinated by some of the things I reveal and will share as well.

Share some of my favorite websites for things . . .

Here are some good websites for learning about financial matters. This could be for personal finance or items having to do with investments. Both are different but good places to start.

Yahoo! Finance

CNBC cable channel

A good starting point for someone who doesn't know a lot about finance, but is willing to put forth the effort to learn about it, is Kiplinger's Personal Finance magazine. This magazine is a monthly publication that is very easy to read and understand and addressed different issues every month from emergency savings, to buying vs. leasing a car, to buying the first house, to insurance, estate and retirement planning and many other items important to putting together a personal financial plan.
