A little weekend reading...

 Eight days in, and I haven't slipped by writing 2015 by accident. Stop looking at your 401(k) balance, grab some coffee, and dig into this week's reading pile. 

  • Most Americans are one paycheck away from disaster. (MarketWatch) OK, so that's not surprising any more. But how about this? 16 percent of households making $240k a year are also living paycheck to paycheck. (LifeHealthPro)
  • Comedians in cars, getting coffee. This one features Jerry Seinfeld and Steve Martin. Yep. It's good. (Comedians in Cars)
  • The triumph of email. (The Atlantic)
  • Hackers caused a blackout for the first time, researchers say. (WashingtonPost)
  • Are you ready for the cybersecurity challenges of 2016? (AmericanBanker)
  • Investment bank believes NFL ratings have peaked and will begin to fall. (Business Insider)

Last day to save money on conference registrations! If you know you will attend a NAFCU conference this year, please take advantage of our HOLIDAY savings offer. You can knock $200 off the cost of any conference. This fits in with my upbringing - buy just what you need, and pay the lowest price possible for it. Also, remember - you don't have to be a NAFCU member to attend! It would be nice, though. Just saying.
