Timeless Articles from the Archives #9

It's been over four years since I started My Wealth Builder. As I think about topics to write , I often remember, "I've written about that before," and decide to find a new topic. However, since many principles of personal finance are timeless, I want to include them in a recent post on My Wealth Builder. Therefore, I have started a series called "Timeless Articles from the Archives" that will highlight posts from the same week in 2006-2009.

For the week in 2006, I shared my thoughts on starting to invest in Investing 101 - Getting Started . I also wrote Saving Money for College about our thinking on how to pay for our daughter's college education.

For the week in 2007, I wrote about how Every Day is Saturday! which described how early retirement seemed. I also posted New Beginning - A Time Of Unlimited Choices on how I was beginning my early retirement. In My Wealth Paradigm, I shared how my view of wealth had changed over time. In Personal Finance Math, I wrote about two math equations are important to use in personal finance matters. I also wrote about what I thought The Value of a Graduate Degree was in business and life. Finally, I shared the second of the financial freedom series in Our Journey To Financial Freedom #2 - The Value of Higher Education.

For the week in 2008, I wrote Miraculous Weight Loss which described a significant weight loss despite eating well while on a camping trip. I also described Bear Market Survival Skills and described what we were doing in How This Retiree is Dealing with Stock Market Collapse . So far these strategies have been helping. Finally, I wrote about why It's Time for New Leadership in Congress.

For the week in 2009, I post End of Year Tax Planning - Deductions which still applies in 2010. I also wrote Why Stocks Still Make Sense to Me which I believe is still true today. I summarized some tax credits in Potential Tax Credits Related to Children - 2009 Update. Some of these may expire in 2010 if the Bush tax cuts are not extended. In Looking for Great Part Time Retiree Jobs, I wrote about the criteria I've developed.

To me, the content of these posts are still relevant today and were worth reading again.
