A while back I posted the first of what I promised would be "Ten Tenets to Arranging Your Rich". And wouldn't you know it, right after posting Tenet #1, things got a little crazy and life interfered with my blogging plans. Go figure :)In any event, I think we're back on track now and as promised, we've got nine more tenets to go. So, without further adieu, here's tenet #2: The same actions will produce the same results.

You don't hear it much any more, but for a long time, "If you're so smart, why aren't you rich" was a pretty effective line for the average Joe when dealing with somebody who was smarter than him.

Paul Michael wrote a great article about the idea that "rich can be arranged" .I liked that idea so much that I started looking at exactly how one starts the arranging process. And so, I asked myself, "how can I arrange my wealth today?" Not just ideas that would generate some money but more the approach itself. Does my outlook matter? Do I have a plan?

As you all know, the iPhone launched recently to a flurry of press and TV news coverage. Eager geeks (sorry, but it seems applicable here) sat outside stores for hours and hours to buy the new phone, happy in the knowledge that they were about to get something that will help them feel a little bit cooler. Just a little.
Far, far worse than these iPhone nuts, though, are the vultures. The folks with enough money to swoop down on a store and buy up a whole bunch of product, only to recycle them on eBay for double the price. Hey, that's good ol' healthy capitalism at work, right?

So, if you have yet to read the writings of The Terrifyingly Funny Evil Blog Queen V at Violent Acres (and you should have, since handsome single studmuffin Will Chen linked her in his Top 20), then you're in for a real treat/therapy session. Someone sent me a link to her story about How To Fight, which is, hands-down, one of my favorite blog posts ever. But more topical, at least for this site, is her 3-part series on financial indepedence (you can read parts 1, 2, and 3 by clicking here).
