Midweek Roundup: Roth IRA Limits, Baby Bonds, and Beer - Consumerism Commentary, personal finance since 2003

Here are some articles I’ve enjoyed recently from around the blogosphere.

Dear Politicians: Please Adjust Roth IRA Limits for Areas of High Cost Living. Lazy Man and Money: “We obviously make a lot of money, but, living here, we pay a lot of it too.”

Strategies for Survival on an Entry-Level Salary. Penelope Trunk: “If you are equally passionate about two careers, and one pays really well and one doesn’t, choose the money.”

The New Baby Bond. Dough Roller: “I’ve got an idea. Why doesn’t the U.S. government give $5,000 to every child born in the U.S.?”

Benjamin Franklin: The Original Personal Finance Blogger. Brip Blap: “Beer is living proof that God loves us and wants us to be happy.”

Thanks for the mention - the other 3 articles were all really excellent (Lazy Man and Penelope are two of my favorites and Dough Roller's idea was thought-provoking) so I'm very appreciative to be in their company!
