Every Saturday on Untemplater we point our readers to our favorite posts of the week. These are some reads that are either very related to the untemplate message or just plain awesome stuff.
This week, many of the topics deal with spending big money. Marketers are spending more on social media. Monster bought Yahoo HotJobs. Mistakes were made when investing in real estate, and you probably shouldn’t invest in stocks. There are tips on how to live a double life with multiple loves. And of course, there’s hip-hop. Check ’em out:

All the free content Ramit shared is awesome. 🙂 If I wasn’t doing the Personal MBA one I would’ve done it, as I told myself I should finish that and it’ll be a great base for every other business thing out there. Still didn’t stop me from devouring the free content, taking notes and listening to all the webcasts though!
The polygamous one is interesting — If only because I really only indulge greatly in one passion, and feed off of that nonstop. Quite literally everything is connected to it… But mostly by choice. I like having the intent focus on one thing and doggedly pursuing it. 🙂

Nice list. The Jonathan Mead post definitely tops it for me. Then Joanna Lord a close second.
I normally love Ramit’s posts but that one shouldn’t have been at the top of the list. Sorry.

Thanks for the feedback Alex. I don’t sort these lists by priority, importance, or which is the best. I try to sort them so they follow a sort of theme/story.
