Weekend Roundup-Working on the Weekend Edition

It was a pretty busy weekend for me, I had to go in to work yesterday and today to work on a project that is due in a few weeks. I think we are reaching the home stretch and will be getting things wrapped up soon, which will give me a little free time for a few months, I hope.

I participated in 4 carnivals/festivals over the last week.

The Carnival of Debt Reduction # 137- Graduation Edition was hosted by the Broke Grad Student, and he included my post “Emergency Fund 101: A Crucial Step on the Road to Financial Well-Being”.

The Carnival of Money Stories # 57 was held at the Carnival of Money Stories website, and included my article “Why I’m Not Buying a New Lawnmower this Year Either”.

Lazy Man and Money hosted The Carnival of Personal Finance #150, and must have worked pretty hard as their were 115 articles included! The Lazy Man selected my post “Lies We Tell Ourselves While Spending Money” as an editor’s pick.

The Money Hacks Carnival # 10, Your Money, Your Life was held at the aptly named Money Hacks, and included my post ” How to Simplify Your Finances: Start Small with Automatic Bill Payments”

Thanks to all of the hosts for their hard work, there are some great articles included so be sure to check them out!

Also, congrats to Steve at Bripblap and NCN at No Credit Needed for adding new members to their families recently, and as Steve put it, a new tax deduction.
