my army friends
my
my primary school friend
my JC friends
my E3 (hostel friends who stayed with me, E3 refer to Block E, level 3) friends.
err.
so i was telling rudewhennude that I would be meeting my economic friends for ice-cream.
she was pretty astonished. "so economic friends are friends you meet to discuss economic?"
NO lah.
actually economic(al) friends are friends who are economical to hang out with.
they are pple who bought insurance from me.
so the other friends are uneconomical friends.

How Average Joes can retire rich
Tune out that static. You needn't be an investing genius to retire with a big 401(k) balance.
In fact, when it comes to the three main choices you have in your retirement account -- how much to contribute, how to allocate your money between stocks and bonds and which funds to choose -- a recent study by Putnam Investments shows that investing prowess isn't what matters.It's how much you sock away.
In other words, saving more leads to, well, more savings. Not exactly a revolutionary idea, true, but it's surprising how big a bang you get by upping the percentage of salary you put in and how slight the payoff is from being a fund savant(con't here)

You know, I think I read the blurb on freakonomics like, once.
haha, apologies for not being more helpful - I only despise all forms of economics. Oh, except consumption, which I will readily do my best to help the economy increase GDP through increased consumption!
to winter: lol. yeah i hv a lot of unwanted books. You want?
its mostly economics books, some history and computer books...
to pj: eh economics is damn fun lah. i must educate u again...:P
freakonomics is quite interesting. insightful econs stuff written in a "non-econs" manner. story-telling of various suppossedly run-of-the-mill econs situations, but investigates deeper to show that all's not wat it seems...
