Well, folks seemed to like the last article link to Violent Acres, which was in fact Part 2 in a series as Fern pointed out. I thought Part 1 was ok but didn't grab me, but the last one and this one did.
Again with the blunt, again with the language. I think for a lot of SavingAdvice.com folks, #2 about investing in what you enjoy might be the most meaningful section in this one.

I think the thing is for me I just want to live comfortable, I don't want to be rich. Yeah, if my goal was to be financially independent I would attack it with my all like she has. But I just want to live well AND retire well. I guess I Am a more moderation as I go type person. But she makes a great point. If I wanted to be super rich I would be eating Top Ramen every night and would downgrade my house.
I like the "investing in what you like" thing. I think the same applies to jobs as she alluded to in her first article. So what you enjoy in life and you will be rewarded - that is a philosophy I grasp onto and she seems to echo in these articles. Find what you are good at and enjoy and work at it, and watch the good results!! Positive attitude, confidence, hard work, it all goes hand in hand to improve your life.
