You are suddenly nearing the dreaded 30s and you haven't figured out the right investment options for yourself! I have been looking at the advise blogs and columns on the investment ideas and strategies.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Some of the popular ones I like and follow are &lt;a href="http://www.dumblittleman.com/"&gt;Dumb Little Men &lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.getrichslowly.org/blog/"&gt;GetRichSlowly&lt;/a&gt;, &lt;a href="http://www.thesimpledollar.com/"&gt;The Simple Dollar&lt;/a&gt;  and &lt;a href="http://www.dinksfinance.com/"&gt;DINK&lt;/a&gt; . All the blogs are very inspiring and encourage one to save and invest. It has been one of my new year's resolutions to save more and start investing. Now is the time, I have to start doing it. With the tax refunds , I get some seed money to invest in one of these investment accounts. Will blog about it, how it goes.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;On the other side,Yesterday we went out with Shreyas, Yahoo's new product manager for lunch. Interesting discussion followed about the trends in &lt;a href="http://www.web2expo.com/"&gt;Web2.0 expo&lt;/a&gt; , upcoming &lt;a href="http://java.sun.com/javaone/sf/index.jsp"&gt;Java One&lt;/a&gt;, usability workshops and &lt;a href="http://pipes.yahoo.com/pipes/"&gt;Yahoo Pipes!&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I mentioned to Shreyas that I became a fan of &lt;a href="http://pipes.yahoo.com/pipes/"&gt;Yahoo Pipes!&lt;/a&gt; as it is helping me in my quest to find a good apartment near my work place near Bernardo Ave in Mountain View. I didnt get the part about OpenID and Yahoo login. Need to digg more.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;About investing, with the &lt;a href="http://finance.google.com/finance"&gt;Dow hitting 13000 mark&lt;/a&gt;, I am not sure if it is a good idea to start in stocks.
