Weekly Links Heat Wave Edition

by Jeff on July 8, 2010

<p style=”text-align: left;”>This week has set records for temperatures on the east coast, and it’s been in the 50′s where I live.  Not your typical July I guess.  I hope that you’ve been staying cool (or warm) as the case may be.  Enjoy this week’s link.

Red is wondering what she should do with her student loan refund.  Most colleges typically give students these (some use them to live off of during the semester) but a lot of students (including myself) just waste them and have nothing to show for it.  Kudos to Red for thinking about what she’s doing with the refund before she gets it and it disappears.

Should you Buy your Companies Stock at Foreigners Finances.  Usually, I’m in favor of these types of things.  If you get a 15% discount, that’s an automatic 15% return.  You can just hold it for the minimum amount of time and dump it later.

I try not to link to newspaper posts too often, but this post at the New York Times needs to be mentioned.  I’m not too sure what to make of the kid, but I can tell you that my first job paid much less than the offer he got (in fact, I’ve never made that much).  But then again, I dont live at home, either.

10 Commonly Missed Tax Deductions at Couple money.  Most of these dont apply to me because I don’t have kids or own a home.  I did know about the moving tax credit, but I didnt quite move far enough :(

Advanced Cash Flow Diagrams at Early Retirement Extreme.  I am quite fond of drawing a chart for anything that I can, and like jacob’s idea and the categories.
