Here's a piece from Kiplinger where a reader shares the story of a co-worker who left without much notice. The piece then gets to the heart of the issue: how much notice should be given to an employer when an employee resigns?

A summary of their answer:

[The worker who left] owed all of you (probably not legally, but ethically) at least two weeks’ notice, and ideally more. In most cases, a new employer will understand, and even respect, a new hire’s desire to do right by her current colleagues. And a more thoughtful resignation might have improved her odds of getting a good reference from your boss if she ever needed one.

Here's my take on this one:

Here's a post listing the five habits of the wealthy that helped them get rich. Their list includes:

1. They take risks.
2. They invest in themselves.
3. They associate with those they want to emulate.
4. They have a dedicated morning ritual.
5. They review their goals consistently.

My thoughts on each of these:

1. I'm not a big risk taker. In fact, I'd say I'm risk adverse/very conservative. That said, the few times I have taken what I consider to be a decent risk, it's paid off. Most notably, my rental properties are now the biggest source of my early retirement funds.

Hey, all. I hope this message finds you all doing well!

Just wanted to post again that my new site is up and running.

If you want an email sent to you with my new site listed, you have two options:

• You can send me an email asking for the details
• You can leave a comment below like "please send me the URL to your new site". Include your email address in the email box when you leave your comment. I will get both the message and the email address, but no one else will be able to see the email address (no one wants their email to be public, right?)

And if you're wondering why you need to do that instead of me just posting it here, you can read this. 

Have a GREAT day!
