How the Financial Crisis started...

Some guy made this for his Thesis.

I found it thanks to Dan Ariely's blog at http://www.predictablyirrational.com/

Its a pretty well done video, although it does go a bit long at 11 minutes (feel free to fast forward)

You’re Broke, Tax Like It

[This article (by me) is reprinted from The Fuqua Times. It is intended for Second Year (SY) business school students.]

Face it, as an SY, you’re broke. You’re massively in debt. You barely earned five figures this summer. You ain’t payin’ sh*t in taxes. Or iz you?

If your only income this calendar year is the $20,000 you made this summer, you’re probably in a pretty low tax bracket. This is where your good old down-40% 401k comes in. You’re going to have to pay taxes on those 401k distributions eventually, why not take the tax hit now? When are you ever going to be in a lower tax bracket than you are this year?
