-   Stressed out about money? [Your kids are stressed about it too,](http://moneywatch.bnet.com/saving-money/blog/devil-details/money-stressed-your-kids-are-too/1098/) and it may be you that's making them panic. \[Devil in the Details\]

-   One of the Twitter founders, Jack Dorsey, is offering [a new product that lets you accept credit card payments with your iPhone](http://www.pcworld.com/article/183528/twitter_cofounder_squares_up_credit_card_payments.html). Cool, eh? \[PC World\]

-   Start your holiday shopping early: Buy some good [personal finance books](http://www.google.com/hostednews/ap/article/ALeqM5gBnaBBYrdAt6WGJj35N_gQQ7oXVAD9C80QOO0) for kids, teens and adults. \[The Associated Press\]

-   The graduates of 2008 faced a tough job market, but what made it worse was the [high level of debt](http://www.quickanded.com/2009/12/the-indebted-graduates-of-2008.html?utm_source=feedburner&utm_medium=feed&utm_campaign=Feed%3A+TheQuickAndTheEd+\(The+Quick+and+the+Ed\)&utm_content=Google+Reader) they accrued while working toward their degrees. \[The Quick and the Ed\]
