Well, this thread got interesting. In response to the initial post, I'm seeing more and more of those bogus type of articles out there, from how to spend your money, what's affecting the environment, which car is greenest, what food to buy, what's causing cancer... I really wish people would read more books on these topics and maybe not ones published in the last 10 years. I've been baffled at what people end up spending on their houses, cars, etc. All i can say is, "Please don't come to me for help when you're trying to retire."
For all the other types of articles out there, I try to stick with the ones who cite their sources, especially those on the environment of food production, but ugh, its very frustrating. I hate that a seemingly credible source is putting out an article like this. Isn't overspending on houses what caused the last housing market crash??
