Run ‘Round the Blogosphere 2/11/2010 – Valentine’s Edition
The search for love and the search for wealth are always the two best stories. But while a love story is timeless, the story of a quest for wealth, given enough time, will always seem like the vain pursuit of a mirage.
- Mark Kurlansky
That quotation seems especially appropriate near Valentine’s Day, on a personal finance blog – doesn’t it? Love should be celebrated (but don’t do it with debt!).
In honor of the day, here are some real love stories: may you love, and be loved, like Billy loved Ruth, like Calvin loved Alice, like Joan loved John.
If you need some more science or social studies to go with your dose of love, I present to you this article discussing the always fascinating intersection of relationships, economics, and human behavior: When It Comes to Search for a Spouse, Supply and Demand is Only the Start [New York Times].

Hey Wellheeled,
I really enjoyed that nerdy article written by the economist about love.
Thanks. Happy Valentines Day!
Oh those stories just about destroyed me. I am familiar with Billy/Ruth and have read About Alice and The Year of Magical Thinking, but reading the articles made it all fresh. There is nothing more beautiful than long love.
The Year of Magical Thinking gets me every time.
