Diamonds in the Rough Roundup 6/30/14

Been a crazy week with changes at work and job offers from other companies.  And a chance to strike out on my own.  I’ve never really been the entrepreneurial type, but am definitely considering it.  The first post of this week’s roundup reflects that.  Enjoy:

Quit Your Job and Die Alone by Financial Samurai:  Though the examples in this post don’t apply so much in the field of optometry, the message is clear:  it is tougher to make a lot of money on your own than on the job and it’s tougher than most people make it seem.  There is a ton of work that goes on behind the scenes in any successful business.  Very thought provoking article.

Save Thousands on Credit Card Debt with Balance Transfers by Broke Millennial:  Balance transfers can be useful especially for those with credit card debt, but they come with a pretty big risk.

Proof Banks Caused the Financial Crash by Financial Samurai:  I’m a firm believer that it was the greed and incompetence of banks that played the major role in causing the financial meltdown.  This is another great post giving an inside look into the behind the scene workings of the mortgage industry.
