A little rain last night and this morning put a damper on the usual weekend outdoor activities, hopefully it will clear up. Otherwise, it may be a good day to go to the movies with the 4 year old!
I participated in 3 carnivals over the last week:
Taking Charge hosted the Carnival of Personal Finance #162-Baseball Edition and included my article “Developing a Burning Desire to Improve Your Finances-Part I-Motivation”
My favorites from the COPF were:
Not the Jet Set tells how the envelope system works and why it has been so successful for his family. I’ve never tried the envelope system but have been thinking about it; I may do it thanks to some great pointers here!
Five Cent Nickel discusses Consumption Smoothing and You-Save While the Saving’s Good. Interesting concept that makes a lot of sense! I’ve heard of oversaving, although I’m currently in no danger of it happening to me.
Shanti from Antishay Ventenne hosted the Festival of Frugality # 135-The Frugal All Over Edition and included my article ” Why Making More Money Trumps Spending Less in the End”
My favorites from the FOF:
My Two Dollars presented Save Money, Reduce Waste: Stop Buying And Start Borrowing A good reminder that many things can be rented at a significant cost savings.
Frugal Dad presented Detaching From Material Possessions a Sign of Emotional and Financial Maturity I think the Frugal Dad and I have had similar experiences, I went through a possession and monthly payment mentality for quite a while. Now I hardly want anything and get much more joy from my family and others.
Prime Time Money presented Frugal Vacations: Weekend Getaways that don’t break the budget. Good tips on planning a cheap getaway.
Help My Cash Grow hosted the Money Hacker’s Carnival # 21 and included my article “The Basics of Finding Ways to Increase Your Cashflow”
My favorites from the Money Hackers Carnival :
Frugal Fu presents Working Organics into Your Budget: Coupon Finds I will have to check these out, my wife buys horizon milk
Harvesting Dollars presents Stages of Wealth Accumulation It’s always good to focus on the basics.
Other favs from around the blogosphere:
