Friday Roundup: Jobs, Finances, Income and Loans

Happy Friday DINKS.  Today we have assembled a Potpourri of great posts from around the web for your reading pleasure. Keep reading as we discuss every aspect about personal finance from our jobs and unemployment, the truth about the reality of our own personal finances, the benefits of having a supplementary income, and (constantly) lending money to friends in need.

• Financial Samurai rants about the unemployment rate (amongst other things) in his post ” An Optimists Outlook: Why Not “Unemployment Day” Instead?  Financial Samurai is never one to be afraid to share his opinions so check out this post as he gets a few things off his chest.  You can follow Financial Samurai on Twitter @financialsamura
• Enemy of Debt tells us to take a look in the mirror in his post “Take a Step Back…Put your Financial Behavior in Check”.  No one knows us better than our selves and sometimes we have to face the harsh truth about our spending, our debt accumulation, and our savings strategies.  Grab a glass of wine and have a heart to heart conversation with Your Finances while reading this post.  Follow him on Twitter @enemyofdebt
