Weekly Round Up: Working a 9-5 Again

in Blog Round Ups

If one word could describe how I feel, it would be tired. I’m excited and happy with the temporary job and income. Just as income picks up, though, so do expenses. I have to take care of some things that have recently sprung up:

  • Rabies shot for the cat
  • My ‘ABS’ light came on so I have to call the mechanic Monday
  • Order contacts as I finished my last pair

Here’s some of what I noticed this week catching up on posts.

Personal Finance Carnivals

I also want to take a minute and point out two great personal finance shows you should be listening and joining in on: Personal Finance Hour and Frugal Coast 2 Coast. Both are high quality shows that can help you tackle different topics with personal finance and have wonderful communities. I think the strength of these shows rely on the bloggers behind them:

Personal Finance Hour

Frugal Coast 2 Coast

These bloggers are huge pillars in the personal finance community and have encouraged newer bloggers. They get the idea behind building a better network. If you haven’t please consider joining in.

Top Personal Finance Posts From this Week

  • Why My Kids will Drive a Piece of Crap: I really like this post because it hit close to home. I love my baby brother, but I think that he feels an undue sense of entitlement. I had to buy my own cars and they were pieces of crap, but I loved them as if they were a new car right off the dealer’s lot. I spent time taking care of them so I could go to school and work. My younger sister and brother received hand me down cars and did not have to pay for the car or for insurance. Once my sister paid for some of her car expenses, she appreciated the value of what she had. I’m hoping my brother does the same. He’s a good guy, he just needs to learn resourcefulness.
  • How NOT To Suck At Blogging: I’m just going to admit this right now, but I think Baker is an awesome blogger and I’m a huge fan. Love his blog and I LOVE this post.

Have a great weekend!
