Blog Round-up: Week of March 4, 2013

blog roundup

Thank you for your great feedback on my post this week. Your words of encouragement and support for my mission made my day, and I agree wholeheartedly that my girls are adorable! My journey with The Heavy Purse is just beginning, and I’m excited to see where it takes me.

My post on Children and Money: Don’t Turn It into a Taboo Topic, Part 2 was mentioned in several blog round-ups, including Frugal Rules, Eyes on the Dollar, Luke 1428, One Smart Dollar and The Frugal Farmer. Thank you for including me. I appreciate the support!

This week there was no shortage of great reads and here are few of my favorite posts. Enjoy!

Greg and Holly at Club Thrifty had the opportunity to conduct An Interview with J.D. Roth, Founder of Get Rich Slowly. A must read.

Kim at Eyes on the Dollar wonders Has the US Government Cried Wolf Too Many Times? in her post on sequestration.

It’s Decision Time for Laurie at The Frugal Farmer. Her vision of financial freedom keeps her on the right path.

Happy Birthday to Brian from Luke 1428. He’s Turning 40, but he’s not living in the past. He’s advancing or moving forward instead.

Sicorra at Tackling Our Debt posed the age-old question, Can Money Buy You Happiness? and shared plenty of tips to help you increase your happiness at no cost.

Goal-setting is very important to me but make sure they are your goals and not mine or Pauline’s from Reach Financial Independence. In Buy My Method, Not My Lifestyle, she shares how she achieved her goals through determination and hard work.

Tony from We Only Do This Once was guest blogging at My Money Design this week. His post, How to Reverse Lifestyle Inflation was a good reminder that owning things does not make us happy.

In his post, Always Expect the Unexpected, Sean from One Smart Dollar shares how he went from feeling invincible to very vulnerable in one short moment.

As part of her debt payoff series, Michelle from Making Sense of Cents featured “S” from American Debt Project. In Debt Repayment is My Middle Name, she shares her journey and how she expects life to be once she is debt-free.

It’s tax season and John from Frugal Rules shares 4 Simple Ways to Make Filing Taxes Easier Every Year. Organization is key. 😀
