Timeless Articles from the Archives #42

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" which highlights posts from the same week in 2007-2010.


2007

2008

How To Profit From Bubbles    -  No bubble for stocks yet.   Maybe for precious metals, but it's too late for me to profit for a precious metal bubble.

Create Habits To Get The Desired Result   -  For me, a good financial habit works better than micromanaging.

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