Roundup: November 16th – 30th

‘Twas a quiet few weeks on the writing front, as I was away for a week guiding little kiddies through the Australian bush! This is my “other job” that I’ve branched out into, to balance out the loneliness and isolation of writing. Because although my tweeps rock, it’s not quite the same as getting outside and interacting with non-virtual people!
Please enjoy my latest articles scattered around the web.

For Love or Money: Must it be One or the Other?
A recent Wise Bread article explored whether the career advice “do what you love” is idealistic or sensible. I don’t see it as black or white; this article examines a few x-factors that might determine the sort of person who does what they love, and why we all have a disadvantage when it comes to career choices.
Is it Better to Specialize or Generalize?

How to Deal with Tax-Deductible Receipts Quickly and Easily
How do you deal with tax-deductible receipts that you collect on the fly? Are they stuffed into your wallet until it becomes so distended that you are forced to do something about them? Are they crumpled in pockets or left in a pile or folder dedicated to “I’ll deal with this later”? Worse yet, do you lose your receipts before you have a chance to deduct them from your income when you file your taxes?
If you don’t have a quick and easy way, then read on. Dealing with tax-deductible receipts doesn’t have to be a chore; it takes me no more than five minutes per week to manage three businesses’ worth of receipts.
