Link Love for a Grey Sunday
I’ve been up for over three hours, after going through a bit of insomnia last night. I am on my FOURTH cup of coffee. I’ve popped the best pain pill I have on hand. I’ve looked at all kinds of blog posts, hoping for inspiration. I’ve looked through some search queries for inspiration. Nothing. del.icio.us is acting up on me, so I can’t get to all my bookmarks, because I am majorly copping out and doing a link round-up for today before I drag into work.
- Money and Panic at How to be a Middle-Aged Man. New post from a new blog, and I sure hope he can find a solution and work on a budget with his wife. For the record, my teenage son is in private school.
- NCN has his preparation list for his new baby. A super list for “just before” the baby comes! Almost like he’s done this a time or two before ;) Best wishes for a healthy baby and trouble-free delivery for mom.
- Money Kings has a humorous look at my favorite vice: eating out. Never thought of it as “cheating” on my wallet!
- Get Rich or Die Trying asks if this is a good time to start an emergency fund with the Fed cutting interest rates. “Now” is ALWAYS a good time to start an e-fund!
- Wide Open Wallet discusses the evolution of a budget with a good experience based way of handling money when you work on tips (like I do) and the transition to a steady paycheck.
- I was only listed in one blog carnival this week, the second edition of the Kids and Money Carnival which of course included a post about my teenage son and his food budget.
I have quite a few other things bookmarked as well, from blogging tips to humor (heads-up: some of the humor is decidedly “off color”). It seems my experiment of putting the Teenager on a food budget has sparked some interest around the blogosphere as well:
- CleverDude has been enjoying it, although I think he commiserates and relates with the teenager. Thank you for the spotlight post over at your blog, Dude
- CindyS from Oh My Aching Debts reflects on what her parents taught (or didn’t teach) her about money and budgeting, as well as being very active in the comments over here and giving me good feedback and ecouragement.
- Although he (?) first thought I was a “making money online” blog, the reviewer over at the mainstream Pro Blog Reviews has been following the teenager on a budget experiment as well, and gave my site a very nice review. I appreciate the kind words
Finally, for being a “cop-out” post this sure does take longer to gather up the links than it would for me to just be inspired and type like a demon spouting off some opinion LOL Enjoy the reading! I am still trying to shake the zombie feeling before I head off to work.
