Weekly Personal Finance Links- Mardi Gras Edition

It’s Mardi Gras day here in New Orleans, the culmination of the Mardi Gras season. Mardi Gras means “Fat Tuesday”, and historically is a celebration prior to beginning the Lenten period on Ash Wednesday. I’ll be heading out with the wife and kids for a few hours this morning to catch a few parades and enjoy the day.

Here are some great articles I’ve enjoyed over the last week or so:

Pete at Bible Money Matters has a great series on Dave Ramsey’s 7 Baby Steps-starting with Step 1. As a Dave Ramsey fan, I’ve really enjoyed this series.

PT at Prime Time Money shows us how to Stick it to the Man-15 Thing You Should Never Pay For.
