]]> Merry Christmas!

I hope everyone is having a happy holiday season.  No posts about finance today, just something funny I wanted to share:

Why Do People Get Married?

52%: “We’re in love”
23%: To get pushy parents off our backs
15%: So they won’t go to hell for having sex
8%: Various (financial, security, lonely, hooked on multilayered cake)
2%: Want to find out their blood type

]]> Since there was a credit card mentioned in this story, I am going to call it finance related.

Ralph Hardy, a 13 year old from Newark, Texas confessed to ordering an extra credit card from his father’s existing credit card company, and took his friends on a $30,000 spending spree, culminating in playing “Halo” on an Xbox with a couple of hookers in a Texas motel.

]]> I have read a lot about the subprime mortgage crisis, and found most of the explanations a little hard to get my head around.

A friend e-mailed me a link to a presentation (hosted on Google Apps), that I feel, does the best job of explaining the whole subprime mess.

Warning: The presentation does contain adult language, so if you are offended by four letter words in a comedic context, this might not be for you.
