Weekly Wrap Up February 20-28

I thought I would start an article series consisting of what I learned in the personal finance blog-o-sphere as well as in the world each week.

This week I learned:

• Overweight smokers and/or David Bowie caused the credit crisis
• It’s not okay to make offensive jokes about co-worker’s religion, relationship and salary
• California decided paying tax refunds is for suckers
• Clever Dude makes too much money
• Just about everyone is trying Lending Club
• Paying Off My Future has expensive taste
• One can never be too careful, especially when buying magazines from door to door salesman
• The media is still peddling fear after all these years
• Google still has their fingers in everyone’s lives
• People still make mistakes
• The Abe Lincoln look may be coming back…
