Return of the Revenge of the Weekly Round-Up
It’s been a while since I’ve done a round-up; real life has made it hard to get online enough to update my own blog, let alone spend the time needed to read through, comment on, and link back to some of the other great blogs I try to follow. But, now that I’m getting back into the swing of things, blog-wise, I figured one of my first actions should be to re-start the whole blog round-up habit.
Now, I’ll probably try to go back and check out all the posts I didn’t have a chance to publish in earlier round-ups, possibly even going as far as making some post-dated weekly round-ups just to include all the goodness I see. For now, though, let’s take a look at some of the quality posts from this past week:
Contests
Joe Plemon mentions the GRABBBR contest being run by several Christian-flavored personal finance bloggers. There looks to be $200 in cash and numerous other prizes up for grabs, so it’s definitely worth checking out.
There’s a book giveaway being held by Young and Thrifty for a copy of Your Money Ratios, a book I’ve seen recommended in quite a few places. If I don’t win it (which I intend to do), perhaps one of my readers can.
I wasn’t fast enough to get to Austin (Foreigner’s Finances) contest giving away a copy of Investing Made Simple, but I suppose I’ll mention it at least; apparently you need to really be on top of his blog entries to win his contests.
If you’ve got kids in your life (or just like reading what we, as a society, are trying to teach our kids about money), you can enter to win a copy of Three Cups, currently be put up by J. Money of Budgets are Sexy.
Good Yakezie Posts
Staying Calm Under Pressure – Financial Samurai, always an interesting and entertaining writer, shares a story about his father, and how his father’s calmness and independence handling life has helped to influence his behavior.
The Millionaire Calculator – I love financial calculators and other devices to help you discover your current financial state. Monevator has a good one, letting you know when you’ll become an (inflation-adjusted) millionaire, always something cool to know.
Are Chiropractors Quacks? – I’ll admit, I’m a bit negatively biased toward chiropractors; my uncle was (is) one, and he didn’t treat my aunt (my mother’s little sister) very well. But Mrs. Money provides a pretty fair and honest view of the profession overall
