Why Religion is an Important Part of Personal Finance ∞ Get Rich Slowly The topic of the linked post has (almost) nothing to do with my post here. It’s the comments that I want to point out. Here’s a synopsis of the situation: Get Rich Slowly is a personal finance blog (and a pretty good one… I’d encourage you to subscribe).

Financially, I’d always assumed that having some other income would help a bit, but wasn’t sure it would outweigh the other factors (the “soft” factors, as the linked post refers to them).
