Lots of posts on MSB this week – I thought maybe instead of one good post, I would publish three average ones instead. 
I ordered quite a few review copies of The RESP Book, and after a couple of weeks of deliberations, Amazon has finally shipped them. I’m hoping this means you will see a few reviews of the book around the interwebs in the near future.
Another book announcement
Jacob from Early Retirement Extreme has released his book, Early Retirement Extreme. Jacob is a very intelligent blogger, who saved a very high percentage of his income and retired at 30. His blog is well worth checking out, even if you are not an extreme saver.
On with the links
- Rob Carrick from the Globe and Mail discusses some online money management sites. He also mentions the post I wrote about Optimize.ca.
- The Globe and Mail had an interesting article about deceptive marketing practices. Be careful when claiming “free” stuff online that you don’t accidentally buy anything.
- Boomer and Echo talk about ROWE – results only work environments. Sounds good to me.

- Canadian Personal Finance Blog gives us the lowdown on bank account overdraft fees.

Don’t kid yourself Mike, all your posts are average!
Kidding of course. Keep up the great work and I hope your book sales continue to climb….
Have a great weekend and thanks for the mention!
Thanks for the link! I plan on reviewing your book soon, just gotta sit down and write it!
@Financial Cents – Lol. I’ll take “average” – it’s a lot better than “crap”.
