I had the fortune to read Rework by Jason Fried and David Heinemeier Hansson. I first heard of the book by seeing an ad for it in Inc magazine. In the ad was a recommendation by Seth Godin, whose blog I occasionally read (I don’t read it near enough). I looked up the book on Amazon to see what the book was about and check out some reviews. I was intrigued to say the least.
The authors are from the software company 37signals. The book is pretty much their business guide to what has worked for them as a company and why it will work for you.

The Platinum Card® from American Express has been around since 1984, but it has no problem keeping up with the changing wants and needs of its affluent customers.
The company’s goal is to ensure that the customer is taken care of, and that through benefits and points, the card will pay for itself.
While all the cards offer excellent benefits, the Platinum card’s Membership Rewards First program specifically focuses on making travel easier and less stressful (making it an excellent travel rewards card).
First off, understand that the American Express Platinum Card® is a charge card not a credit card.
This means you will be paying your balance off monthly. That’s great since you won’t pay any interest on the card. It also means there’s no pre-set spending limit (thought that doesn’t mean unlimited spending).

As a personal finance blogger I get the opportunity of receiving books about well, personal finance from time to time. I don’t always get to read them all (yet) but some I do while others are moved to the front of my reading list for when I get a chance. I wanted to tell you about one that’s on my short list to read.
The Power of Passive Investing by Rick Ferri
I haven’t read this book yet but I will soon. In The Power of Passive Investing, Ferri makes the case for owning only low-cost index funds and ETF’s. I’ve heard a lot about how active funds tend to not beat the market and that most of us would do better with low-cost index funds (Warren Buffet and Tom Gardner come to mind).
I certainly don’t want to have my returns eaten up by commissions and taxes. Investing in ETF index funds is something I’ve slowly been doing but I want to learn more. I was excited to get a copy of this book and start expanding my investing knowledge.
