Surprising Salary Roundup & What To Spend It On

Did you know that a court reporting can bank close to $60k? Or that paramedics can expect less than $30k? A CareerBuilder article on CNN details five surprising salaries.
For those of us without surprising salaries and have considered Treasury bonds in our tumultuous times, the Treasury department just lowered the “minimum and multiple of” price for Treasuries to $100, from $1000. A week ago, if you wanted a marketable security from the Treasury, the starting amount was $1000 and had to be in multiples of $1000. Now, it’s a mere $100. That’s a good thing, except Jaffe considers them overpriced at the moment. If you are happy keeping it in a bank, do consider an online bank with a high yield savings account.
N+1 put out their second interview with a hedge fund manager (here’s the first interview back in January 2008) in which they discuss Bear Stearns and the credit crisis. It does a thorough and clear job of explaining a complicated issue and will give you a firm grasp of what exactly this “credit crisis” really is about and why there is a crisis in the first place.
Finally, I, along with several others, was asked by JD what I splurge on and was included in a very entertaining post that captured what several pfbloggers splurged on. I wrote about how splurge on experiences and vacations, which was a “vice” shared by Nina of QueerCents, Cap from StopBuyingCrap, and Nickel of FiveCentNickel. There were really three camps, those who splurged on stuff, those who splurged on experiences, and those who splurged on food. Very interesting introspective!
Have a great weekend!

Food would definitely be my number two… I’m sure we can all agree that it’s sort of in the “experiences” camp too. I mean food while on vacation? Don’t even mention it. From the street vendor to the upscale restaurant, I’ll jump aborad as long as it gives me a joygasm of the mouth. Haha.
