For my knitting friends: neural networks and knitting
Joe talks about inheritances. I want to leave JB *something* but that’s more along the lines of a solid foundation with less debt than the average kid, self respect and skills to make zir way in the world, without being overly burdened by caring for us. And in the end, I know I’m just hoping my hardest that ze will turn out to be a good person.
Why restaurants are so loud – ugh.
Yet Another PF Blog asked some great questions recently:
Bloggers: Are you transparent about your economic class on your blog? Is your content geared toward readers in your same demographic / level of PF knowledge? How much do you work to make your content accessible?
Readers: What level of transparency do you want from your personal finance bloggers? What kind of content do you want to see? Do you feel like the community as it is now has sufficiently targeted your interests and questions?
I am as honest as I can be without revealing our identities, and I only write what I know, so I think my readership is …. sometimes similar to me, and sometimes not?
What do you think? Am I transparent enough, and what do you want to see? Is my writing in any way relevant to your life? Does it need to be for you to want to read?
Brooklyn Bread talks kids sports and I gotta tell you, I’m not looking forward to this. In My Day, Mom signed us up for one sport and everything else was on our own initiative. I got myself into horseback riding, and sparring, and track and did ok at all of them, and I don’t know what important life lessons I learned in any of them, but it was good for me while it lasted.
Ben Carson’s a blight – he wants to raise rents on the poorest claiming that that’s going to help solve the complexity of the system.

Thanks for the link!
You’re welcome!
Thanks for the mention! I hope to raise our kid to be a good person too. It’s not easy. Every kid is different. It’s going okay so far…
So very different indeed!
I think as parents we all want our kid(s) to be good people, that’s all what we can ask for. Providing all lessons we can teach them, we hope that they implement it to their lives.
I believe your writing is very transparent, you write about basically anything that is happening in your life. I think the type of writing your doing can help readers like me look our own situation and analyze our own family dynamics, finances and self-reflection.
Many of us do, and do our best to get there with what we know. It’s a huge job!
