Here are some links from the more mainstream media that interested me today.

* Invest in your looks, from MSN Money. Stomach stapling pays off, but laser eye correction may not…
* Forget the raise, give me flexible hours, from Fortune Magainze.
* How to know when you’re ready to buy (your first house), from Kiplinger’s Personal Finance. Timing doesn’t matter, the decision should be independent of market conditions…
* In their 20s, trading millions, from Reuters. It’s Trader Monthly’s “30 Under 30 List,” highlighting superstar young stock traders. All these kids should have blogs and share their stories. I’d read.

1 D July 27, 2006 at 7:24 pm: Just an FYI – I had Laser Surgery. I found it to be worth its weight in gold even without the financial savings. The last year prior to the surgery that I went to the eye doctor I paid $748 for exam, contacts and glasses. When it came time to renew I went to Lasik.

I paid $3200 and four years later am running on cleared profit with no chemicals or solutions to buy. The happiness and convenience I gained is Priceless.

I would recommend this to anyone and everyone.
