Top 25 Personal Finance Myths
Over at yourcreditadvisor.com they have published a list of the top 25 personal finance myths. Find out which ones you secretly subscribe to.
Someone once said that if you were to make a list of your 10 closest friends and acquaintances and order your earnings and theirs from smallest to greatest, you’d probably find yourself somewhere near the middle. All that this means is that we are subtly influenced by our friends, even when we’re not aware of it, especially in matters of money. Being somewhere in the middle is probably more comfortable for the average person. If you are that rare person at the high end of the list, then you probably don’t need to read this article. If you are not, then find out what’s holding you back. There are hundreds of personal finance myths which are either misunderstood, taken out of context, or just plain incorrect. Here are our top 25.
Is TV Dead?
An article by Michael Arrington over at TechCrunch.com explores the death of broadcast (linear) TV. Some research indicates that online video watchers watch less TV, well duh.
The key tipping point will be when a startup is able to distribute proper television content over the Internet legally. People will begin to abandon their cable tv subscriptions in favor of Internet distribution. MobiTV is in the best current position to do this – they have a ton of cash and are only a few deals away from being able to offer the equivalent of a cable television subscription over the Internet. And The Venice Project may also win. iTunes will continue to pursue their pay per show model, and that will also take market share.
I realized something was different the first time my wife and I watched Youtube for 2 hours one evening, forgetting to turn the TV on.
