This has been a busy week so far. I started classes which I am taking twice a week after work, and there is quite a bit of homework and study attached. I really don’t remember how I used to mix work and school in the past!
Here are my posts over the past week:
- Learn a New Language: Five Different Strategies
- Three Reasons Why You Should Learn a New Language
- The Primal Blueprint 30 Day Challenge
- Is It Worth It to Have an Emergency Fund, or Should I Pay off My Mortgage Instead?
- The Rising Chinese
I’ve decided to try a new format for my weekly roundup. After a discussion on Barbara Friedberg Personal Finance about link posts, I will split things up into my favorite weekly reads (limited to 10 max!), mentions for those who linked to me, and a video of the week if there is one to share.
