Weekly Personal Finance Links- Late Cool Weather Edition

It’s been a little cool out today, with an unusually cool (not really cold, though) front coming through yesterday after a whole lot of rain. The kind of day you wish you weren’t locked up inside at work-since the rest of the summer will be hot and humid. In spite of this, I opted to go to work and not play “hooky” for the day. Oh well, maybe next time!
