The Online Investing AI Blog

With St. Patrick’s day just a wee bit away, we wanted to explore ways to live a rich, good life.

The Irish are known for their pluck and–except for the potato famine here and there–their luck.

But I don’t think it’s some smilin’ leprechaun that endowed the people of the Emerald Isle with their ability to be fortunate. It’s really the typical Irish resilient, inquisitive outlook on life that opens up opportunities.

And. you don’t have to be Irish to have good luck. Luck is a matter of being aware of opportunities and seizing them. And both of those skills–awareness and bold action–can be taught, or at least reinforced.

In this edition of Weekly Wisdom, we’ll cover some tips from the blogosphere that will teach you to make your own luck–whether it’s thinking like Albert Einstein or picking stocks.

Here goes:

Personal finance is really about asking the right questions.

Should you buy and hold? Should you sell and walk away?

How much should you save?

How much should you spend?

What’s the best investment?

Unfortunately, I don’t have the answers to all those questions–but a lot of smart bloggers and columnists do. And I’ll let them do the talking in this week’s edition of Weekly Wisdom.

The best of the best. That’s what the Olympics is supposed to be about.

But it’s also about inspiration. When we see a perfectly executed triple axle, or a record-breaking slalom run, maybe we’re not ready to strap on the skates and skis, but we might be inspired to achieve another slightly less death-defying goal in our own field.

As a blogger, I feel the same inspiration. When I read some of my favorite blogs I realize I won’t be able to match the performance of these writers, but I feel inspired to try.

So, if blogging were a sport, and if this week was the start of the personal financial blogging Olympics, here are posts that would receive perfect scores:

Not everyone was meant to be a 9-to-5′er. For a variety of reasons:

Offices can drain you of your energy. Routine tasks can burden and bore you. Compensation may not equal effort. Like family, you rarely can choose your co-workers and the shifts of personnel and supervisors can drastically change your fortunes.

But the employee lifestyle is deeply ingrained into our society. And it takes some help to escape this career trajectory.

The process is referred to as lifestyle design and it encompasses a lot of tools, techniques, and tips to master. They include: debt control, automation, income and investing optimization, freelance and consulting gigs, residual income source, and increased productivity.

Here are some of the best blogs and sites to serve as a escape pod to the 9-to-5.

On this Valentine’s Day edition of Weekly Wisdom, we’d like to explore the connection between passion and personal finance.

Passion is like love in action.

Passion can propel you to do things you once thought were impossible. When you’re passionate about your financial freedom, you’ll learn how to save money–probably something that once seemed difficult.

You’ll learn how to earn money, on your own terms.

And, you’ll invest it wisely and in a way that’s aligned with your values.

So, here are some of the best posts that I discovered this week. Passionate posts.  I hope they fan those flames of financial freedom, if you already have an inferno burning. If you just need a spark, I hope these can serve as tinder.

A lot of people avoid personal finance.

How can I tell? Look at the economy. Look at the states that are mired in debt. Look at the country. No one with any personal financial brains would let their communities slip into this kind of morass.

It’s easy to surmise that people avoid personal finance subjects because they thing it’s boring. A bunch of math. You have to deal with fractions and percentages.

But it’s not that way at all. There are webmasters and bloggers out there that make personal finance exciting–and reveal the exciting path of wealth we could be on.

So, let’s go:

Not to get into any big political debates before a nice harmless list of links to smart thoughts and ideas, but let’s just say the jury’s out on the notion of wealth redistribution.

But one thing that’s certain: redistributing wisdom, especially personal finance wisdom is a good thing for society.

We now have the most effective way to distribute wisdom ever–the internet. In this week’s Weekly Wisdom, we pull together the best links we could find on personal finance and personal growth.

Enjoy, comrades!

They say money can’t buy you happiness; but it can put a nice down payment on it.

If there’s one thing I’ve learned this week, it’s that trying to seek true happiness and fulfillment without financial freedom is nearly impossible and is more likely a result of chance, rather than strategy.

Spending and saving, investing, and mental attitude are integral to financial freedom.  Fortunately, we live in times where that information is free, readily accessed, and is almost continually updated and debated.

In this edition of Weekly Wisdom, we’ll pass on links that will help you on your way to financial freedom.
