April 20, 2008 Link Payday
Welcome to your Link Payday for April 20, 2008, Hawai’i Geek Meet edition. I’m blogging from Magic Island this afternoon…
Kyle over at Rather-Be-Shopping hits a chord with this blogger who hates waste when he asks How Much Food Do You Throw Away? Yes, waste is the archenemy of frugality, and this blog believes that frugality is a great thing!
JLP over at All Financial Matters covers Morningstar’s Best and Worst 529 Plans. Given that we just covered these kinds of plans this morning, I thought that it would make a nice addition to this list.
Frugal Dad gives us a powerful does of reality when he discusses The Power of Contentment. Contentment can be a powerful ally when dealing with financial issues as well as health issues. I noticed not long ago that many personal finance bloggers also have weight issues–including myself–so realizing that sometimes we turn to excessive spending as well as excessive eating and how to combat those urges can make a huge difference.
One of my favorite bloggers, Mrs. Micah, departs from her usual manner by going on a Rant: We’re Going to Effing Stimulate the Economy, where she discusses Mr. Micah’s need for a new computer. Personally, I think that even if they have to spend some money that they would have liked to go elsewhere on it, given that he needs it to complete his dissertation, I think this is the best decision under the circumstances.
Finally, Lynnae at Being Frugal uses her daughter’s soccer experience as an example of The Importance of Tenacity. Staying on course is always difficult and sometimes children can give us a great example through their actions.
And that’s your Link Payday for April 20, 2008!
