Gather Little by Little

This week has been incredibly busy for me. Work has been just nuts and football season for my oldest son is in full swing with 3 practices a week from 6pm-8pm. We are heading to the mountains for the long weekend and can’t wait to get away for a few days! I did manage to allocate some time to catch up on all of the various PF blogs. Here’s my article “gathering” for this week:

From the M-Network:

• Moolanomy talks about the super-size problem here in America
• Plonkee asks “Who do you donate to and why?“
• Financial Dominance tells us to give graduates the gift of a financial education – I couldn’t agree more
• Being Frugal tells us that paying off debt is all about choices
• Paid Twice provides some tips for working from home and being a mom too – I think she really means working from home as a second job, being a stay at home Mom is a full-time job as it is! Kudos to her for being able to do both, oh and blog too!
• ChristianPF, our newest M-Network member had a bunch of great articles this week, but my favorite was the simple act he did – I have always wanted to do this, but being a bit introverted just never have. I commend Bob on following through.

From my other favorite PF Sites:

• Lazy Man started a Save Money series he will be doing each Monday. This is very similar to my Money Saving Money Tips feature.
• Trent had a great article on Setting Priorities – I agree with his order
• A guest post on Blogging Away Debt tells us how credit card companies bait and trap us with 0% – I always love articles that back up my claim that credit cards are evil.
• Saving Explained gives us some tips to motivate our savings
• CleverDude as part of his Examine Your Motives series discusses Buying a Car

Here’s a summary of posts from me this week:

• Hilarious But So True SNL Video On the Secret to Wealth
• Money Saving Monday: 3 Tips to use the Internet and Save $1500 a Year
• Monday Carnivals
• Reduce Your Expenses By Avoiding Temptation
• The Carnival of Money Stories #23 Is Up!
• Simplify Your Finances
• 7 Things I’ve Given Up to Prune My Expenses

See you on Tuesday when I’ll recap the month of August and list the top commentators!
