Blog Roundup: Week of March 11, 2013

blog roundup

It’s been beautiful, sunny and WARM in Los Angeles this week. Truly, it can be both sunny and cold in LA. I’m sure those you with snow on the ground are currently making a huge snowball to throw at me, but I’m confident it will melt before it reaches me. šŸ™‚

Before I bask in the sunshine some more, I wanted to share some of my favorite posts from this past week. There were so many great reads that I had trouble selecting which ones to feature, not that I’m complaining! Whether you’re lounging at the beach or in your favorite recliner, I’ve picked some great posts for you to enjoy.

Tonya at Budget and The Beach taps into a concern many of us have: the Fear of Not Having Enough Money.

In her post, Motivation: Words of Wisdom from Paul Mulligan, Laurie from The Frugal Farmer shares how his teachings got her back on track.

Thrifty Dad talks about using your wants to set goals and dream big in Saving for Your ‘Wants’.

We live in a buy, buy, buy world and Tony at We Only Do This Once shared some tips on How to Break Free from Consumerism.

Justin from The Frugal Path shared the Money Lessons that I’ve Learned from My Grandfather who taught to him to work for the enjoyment, not recognition.

Are we Too Focused on Money and Losing Focus on Enjoyment was a question Grayson pondered this week at Debt Roundup.

Sicorra at Tackling Our Debt shares Living Frugal: 10 Ways to Save Money that can really help put more money back in your pocket.

The Happy Homeowner talks about how one’s happiness or unhappiness can influence their relationship with money in How Happiness Saves you Money.

Adrienne shared some key learnings from a recent episode of Oprah’s Life Class in her post, How to Start Living with Purpose.

Well, that’s a wrap for this week. We’ll be enjoying the annual St. Patrick’s Day parade in our community this weekend. What are your weekend plans?

    Shannon, you are much too kind to throw a snowball at, but if I wanted to, it could be humongous, because we've still got a good foot of snow on the ground - yuck! Suffice to say I'm living vicariously through you, enjoying the warm and sunny weather. :-).

    Thanks for the mention, and have a wonderful weekend!

      Whew! I dodged a humongous snowball! :D We're quickly marching onto April, so I'm guessing your days of snow are coming to end. But I'll think of you when I'm enjoying our 70+ temps! Have a great weekend with your family, Laurie!
