Good list of articles Mike.
MDJ’s discussion on switching from a variable rate to fixed rate mortgage caught the attention of a lot of people.
Thanks for the link Mike!
Thanks for the link. Interesting sign of the times, I am not sure two bloggers would have done some navel gazing about obtaining a MBA 12-18 months ago. This is not an unwelcome development though.
Wow. That’s a lot of articles to go through. Thanks for including mine!
