Weekly Round Up
Hello, hello blog friends! I’m a little late with round up I know. My apologies. I had the opportunity to go see Dane Cook live in Houston and so I spent most of Saturday in a car driving. But, the show was amazing. I know Dane Cook isn’t everyone’s cup of tea, but he is mine and seeing him live was something on my bucket list. So, I had a great time. I hope everyone’s weekend was equally as exciting!
And now on to the round up then. These oughtta start your week on a positive note!
- Dawn @ Fighting Foreclosure gave some good reasons to get to know your neighbors. I’ve never bothered in an apartment complex, which is more just a time factor on my part than any reluctance to meet new people, but still. Dawn does have a point…
- Patrick @ Cash Money Life discusses the difference between conscious and unconscious spending. Spending money isn’t our problem…it’s how we think about it that is.
- SVB @ The Digerati Life shares her story about her business credit card being closed. Many people are feeling the effects of the new credit card reform already. Check out some signs to watch for!
- Living Almost Large asks whether or not larger people should pay for two seats. Touchy subject for a lot of people, but as someone who spent a lot of their life overweight, I’d say that for the sake of everyone’s comfort, yes. Either pay for two seats or upgrade to first class where the seats are roomier.
- Jeremy @ Generation X Finance explains how your car is making you poor and what you can do about it. Cars are expensive, to be sure. And sometimes they’re a necessary evil. But, Jeremy gives some great pointers to consider when you’re thinking of buying your next car.
- J.D. @ Get Rich Slowly had a guest post this week on estate planning. It’s not a fun topic, but it is necessary, no matter that you think you’ll live forever or that there will be plenty of time. You never know. I have a member whose mother died in a car accident and he’s fighting with lawyers over the estate because there was no will. It’s not a pretty situation to leave a grieving family member in. So, bite the bullet and make a plan.
- Trent @ The Simple Dollar reminds us that avoiding spending is not the same as saving. It’s an important step, but it’s not the only thing that leads to saving money long-term.
And there you have it! Enjoy your week and I look forward to reading this week’s articles!
Happy Reading!
