Saturday Links for 3/8/08

March 8th 2008 10:46

I participated in two carnivals this week! The Carnival of Debt Reduction and the Carnival of Money Stories.

The Carnival of Debt Reduction was at NCNblog this week. I was included with my post The Current Debt Reduction Plan.

The Carnival of Money Stories was at Piggybankblues. I was included with my post Sometimes I Hate Shopping.

Thanks to both blogs for hosting and including my posts!

As for other links...

The Financial Engineer asked a friend what she would do with $100,000. She was surprised by the answer, and so was I. Now, I could make that money last about three years or more. I could actually make it last about 10 years if I lived for those 10 years like I do now! But face it, no one will live like I do for 10 years.

Poorer Than You poses the question Grad School or No Grad School? Maybe some of you are in that position right now. If so, you should definitely check out her post!

Blogging Away Debt cashed in some change recently and found out her bank will count change for free. My roommate knew this about her bank and did the same thing last week. She wound up with $40 something! In change! Keep those pennies!

Happy reading and enjoy the weekend!

As you all know, I hosted the Carnival of Money Stories this week. But I also participated in the Festival of Frugality at Mighty Bargain Hunter. I was included with my post, "The End Slices."

Anothering interesting post from the Festival was "How to Get Stuff for Free" from not the jet set. I don't know if I would do all of the suggestions, but asking is easy. I've never looked at freecycle, maybe I should start?

One other post I found this week was at English Major's Money. "I Can't; I Can't Afford It" struck a cord because I sometimes feel the same way when I tell people that I can't do something - that they think I'm trying to get them to pay for it. Well, I don't want them to pay for it either.

Have a good weekend!

I mentioned yesterday that Tuesday the Carnival of Money Stories is coming here! Yay!

Anyway, this will be a short links post today, because for some reason I didn't have a lot of time to surf around the net and find some good stuff. And I'm enjoying some time back in my hometown this weekend.

But the first link is...

I participated in the Carnival of Personal Finance at My Dollar Plan. It was a Valentine's Day edition, and I was included with "I Don't 'Do' Valentine's Day." Haha, perfect!

The next link is quite amusing. It's Paid Twice's "No One Wants My $800." If I found that out, I'd be perfectly happy to keep it.

I would have called to talk to someone at the place where my car got fixed, and if they told me it was paid I would just save the $800, document that I had called them, and leave it alone for a while. If they came back for it later I would give them the $800. If they complained I would tell them I called and tried to give them my money. Haha, what would you do?

That's it. There will be plenty to read next week!

I have quite a few links from this week. I'm going to start with the carnivals I participated in; there were two. The first was the Carnival of Personal Finance over at Paid Twice. I was included with my post "My New Grocery Budget" under the running backs section. (It was superbowl week of course!) Second was the Festival of Frugality at Being Frugal. I was included with my post "I Only Buy Clothes with Gift Cards." It's funny, because I was a running back on that "team" too!

As for the other posts from the carinval and the festival that I liked (in no particular order):
20 Ways to Save on Your Utility Bills at Destroy Debt. A lot of those things don't apply to me right now living in an apartment, but my room mate and I try to use as little electric and water as possible. Those are our only two utility bills. (Well, plus the evil cable guy).

The next post that I liked also had lots of attention already. It's Mrs. Micah's Bridesmaid Dresses--we need a solution! I've only ever had to buy one so far, and I was 17 (it was my cousin's wedding) so my mom bought it for me. I proceeded to use it for homecoming and prom my senior year. (I'm not a fan of dresses, so I wasn't buying more!)

The Beauty of Silver or 25 Things I Used to Take for Granted was a nice post. What really caught my eye was the name of the blog, Oh my Aching Debts. Clever; I like it.

Then there was Cheap Healthy Party Food at Cheap Healthy Good. That's mostly for all of you readers' benefit. I'm not a fan of healthy, but maybe some of you are!

Are you still with me? I've got two more...

How to Quit Your Job Gracefully at Get Rich Slowly was an interesting read. But I've never had to do any of that yet. My first job they knew when I was leaving because I just told them. And then I would come back, and leave again, and come back, etc (because of school). The next two jobs were at school, and simply ended when I graduated.

Finally there is a post about Subaru's Clean Car Plant at The Good Human. I've seen the commercial for it, and we even talked about it in my anthropology class last semester. I really like what I learned about them in this post.

That's it. Happy reading!

First off, I participated in the Festival of Frugality this week over at Mrs. Micah's blog. I was included for my post "Putting My Tuition Cards to Good Use."

Other good PF posts this week include Paid Twice's I'm a Cheetah, Not a Gazelle. I think I'd have to fall into her category of cheetah too. At least I think so.

Also, good job to Tricia at Blogging Away Debt to making her credit card debt reduce to $15,999. She found a little bit extra to send off and be able to claim below the $16k mark!

Then at Get Rich Slowly, a reader is getting a fantastic windfall. I wish I had that. If I paid off all my debt I could live off of $500 a month!

As always, have a great weekend!

I'm doing the update first. I've been meaning to mention it for two weeks I think. I will be hosing the February 19th edition of the Carnival of Money Stories! Yay! I haven't hosted a carnival before, but it should be fun. So be on the lookout for that!

As for the links, there are quite a few good ones this week, but I'm keeping my list to four. The first two I will probably be writing my own extension of next week. Well, actually, one might turn into a regular post if it keeps me on track! So let's get on with it

The Friday Links on a Saturday

January 5th 2008 13:29

Well, I haven't been doing much on the internet lately except looking for a job. However, I do have a link to the second Carnival of Financial Goals. I was included with my post "New Year's Financial Resolutions."

I also made goals specifically for this month that you can check out
