Friday Link RoundUp

Posted on: April 10, 2009 by Matt 1 Comment

Happy Friday All!  I can not wait for this weekend to start, mostly because I am tired and do not feel like working today.  Anyway – this week was a little slower at work which allowed me to catch up on a little bit of reading.  Here is some of the stuff I found interesting this week:

• How I Save Money has a list of 25 ways they save money.
• It looks like YoungDough is going to have to break down and get some private student loans.
• MoneyEnergy has a few tips if you are broke and you know it.
• Greener Pastures offers some suggestions to get organized and uncluttered.
• I recently found some e-books for sale on frugality at Living On A Dime.  I still have not dug in though.

A Little Late But Hey – It’s Friday And Here’s The Link Love

Well I am running a little behind schedule on posting today and way behind on reading and comments this week.  Work has picked up a bit and I have a little less free time.  Anyway – here are a few links for kicking around this weekend if you are interested:

• Budgets are Sexy is giving away a couple copies of TurboTax Premier Online: Hurry you have to enter by Monday morning.
• MoneyEnergy is sharing her keys to financial success.
• Young Dough reminds us of some items not to cut from our budget during a poor economy.

Ok – I know, short list this week.  Fact is I did not have a lot of time to read for a long list.  I just happened on a few that looked good.   Hopefully next week will look a bit more solid.

HAPPY FRIDAY EVERYONE! I am really looking forward to having a quiet weekend this week. It looks like I may have a few mellow plans but for the most part I hope to spend time just relaxing and maybe writing a bit.  Keeping up with my custom over here I here are some articles that I enjoyed this past week:

• Pecuniarities dropped a link in her comment to my post on an increase in crime noting some Consumer Saftey Resources.
• Chasing The Bull posts on setting goals and reaching them.
• Passive Streams Of Income asks if we challenge ourselves enough with goals.
• The Truth Of Credit asks how expensive is bad health?
• Counting My Pennies is literally looking to count her pennies (change jar at work).

Another week has finally come to an end.  I am working a swing shift at work today to cover our phones for a while due to a company event this afternoon.  I suppose working late and handling incoming issues is not that big of a deal and they are going to let me take my family out to dinner for the trouble.  I think I will be taking the kids out to play racquetball with my extra couple hours this morning and I am looking forward to it.

As usual for Friday – here are some links to articles that caught my eye this week:

• Frugal Dad writes about how to Recession-Proof Your Debt Snowball.
• Lazy and Money has Three Investing Lessons Learned The Hard Way
• “Cents”able Momma has Four Easy Steps To Reduce Laundry Costs.
• Northern Cheapskate saves money on tax preparation.
• Budgets are Sexy asks if we think showering together helps save water?  This one got me laughing a bit.

So it is Friday already.  I suppose that the week has already been longer than I was hoping for due to some stress at work. Otherwise the week went fairly quickly and I am looking forward to wrapping up another month.  I also happened on a few good posts this week including:

• Single Guy Money has gone one month on his journey to quitting smoking.  As an ex-smoker myself I am happy for him.  It is tough work.
• The Digerati Life has some advise about stress at work and burn out.
• How I Save Money calls out a bunch of frugal frauds.
• The Simple Dollar has a great post with ten vital tactics for making the “money talk” work.

Hope everyone enjoys their weekend.  Right now I do not think we have any plans to speak of and I am hoping to possibly get my taxes done and write a bit for next week!
