• Credit Card Blog lists 10 reasons why everyone needs a credit card.
• Debt Consolidation News talks about how to get a pre-nup signed. I know it’s a touchy subject for a lot of people but I’m personally in favor of pre-nups.

There is a chance that the marriage will end and if you address that in advance it probably means you have great communication which will probably help your marriage last.

Whenever I have a 'stock picking guru' bragging about his returns I ask him what his return was minus taxes, fees and the value of his time spent on research/execution. That always stops them dead because most people don't think to include the time they spend researching as an expense for investing.
