Welcome to some fine Weekend Reading folks, some of the best articles from the personal finance blogopshere right here. First though, earlier this week I provided some newbie investors with some recent books to check out and I posted our February 2015 dividend income update, our journey to financial independence.
Spring seems to have finally sprung, a bit, in Ottawa and surely warmer weather is coming. This means golf, gardening, lawn care and cold beer on the deck seasons for me. Any big plans for spring good reader? Leave me a comment and tell me about them. All the best to you and see you here again next week.
I liked Tom Bradley’s article about debt impacts here. I hope to provide a take on this soon.
