We had a nice rainy weekend. Normally I am not a fan of lots of rain, but our yard and plants really needed it. It rained lightly most of Saturday. Glorious.
On top of the rain, I had to spend a large majority of time writing this weekend. I wrote a guest post for Bruce “The Tax Guy” at LRTax Prep, and had to write a 5-6 page paper for my MBA course.
This week is going to be interesting. I’m working today and taking a “staycation” Tuesday through Friday. I plan to spend this time working on a bunch of online projects, primarily this blog. I hope to get very ahead on my writing, allowing me to provide high quality articles for my readers.
Here’s some links from the last week or so:
PFBloggers:
- Master Your Card wonders if the rich can teach us anything about money.
- Our Fourpence Worth talks about how Google Maps can save you money.
- Living Almost Large shares the sad story of an Extreme Makeover: Home Edition house that is now in foreclosure. That’s just pathetic. They were given a free house AND $100,000. The family took out a mortgage on the house for $450,000 and went on a spending spree. Genius.
- Get Rich or Die Trying wonders how many times we can hear the same advice over and over.
Elsewhere:
- The Money Blog Network had a group writing project asking for the best advice you would give a new entrepreneur. They let non-MBN members participate, so I did. Thanks guys!
- The Carnival of Personal Finance is up at You Need a Budget.
- The Sun’s Financial Diary points to a budget template that Google is sharing.
- Get Rich Slowly gives five tips for starting a small business. Creating boundaries is extremely important. Set yourself into a routine first, or you will be answering e-mails in the middle of the night.
