Alexa ranking update: We are at #582,878 a 10 fold improvement on the #5 million we started with 3 weeks ago. Here is a big hearty THANK YOU to all the readers and everyone at Yakezie!

Yikes! Car problem, I hate car problems. Engine trouble dilemma, should Joe sell his car or fix it? I sold our ’98 Z3 when it broke down and cracked the head gasket so I think he should sell it, but he loves his caddy so head on over and check it out.

Dating Horrors at the Kitchen Sink, first edition the Poor House. Check out the second edition as well – The Great Pretender, all shows and no substance. Man, am I glad I’m married.

Some serious pessimistic view of the future from Early Retirement Extreme. Jacob is hedging against a dark future. I’m an optimist so it’s hard for me to see things from his point of view, but it’s a good read.

One disaster away from financial ruin. This is a real scary story about heath issue, not good. Our health is the most important asset after all.

Would you pay for an extravagant wedding? I said No way, but this is from the guy who married at the county court house…

Kevin at Invest It Wisely asked if College is a complete waste of time? What? That’s crazy talk. Good thing he explains it in detail, something to do with being a Canadian. :D

Does Passive Income really exist? I hope so, but it’ll take a lot of work up front according to InvestorJunkie.

How to deal with a real life vampire? Head on over to Get Rich Slowly and read How to Slay the Energy Vampire.

The High Cost of Being a Moron. Another car horror story at Sustainable Life Blog. This one is talking about problems with selling the car.

How to avoid Credit Card Fee Traps at Narrow Bridge.

All right, that’s enough for scary links. There are some free deals and activities for Halloween list at The College Investor.

Have a fun and safe Halloween!

Good wrap up and great improvement in your ranking. It took me forever to get that high. I’m a little jealous. Okay, a lot jealous.

What a great post on definition investing activities! Seriously, some of your best work. I can’t argue with one word of it, and I just subscribed to your feed. In the future, how about a post on ANCHOR_TEXT%? Cheers!
