It’s the end of another busy, but good week and we’re happily headed into a long holiday weekend in the States. So in anticipation of everyone raring to get to the weekend, I’m going to make this week’s recap short and sweet … hopefully!
The Heavy Purse was mentioned in multiple places last week and I truly appreciate your support. If I missed you, please let me know so I can add you to the list.
I also have to give a very special shout-out to Average Joe (who is so NOT average) for interviewing me in his inaugural Stacking Benjamins podcast. Joe and I chatted about 5 Summer Money Activities for Kids, so download the podcast and listen to it during your commute, workout or whenever you can.
Tony from We Only Do This Once shared How to Bring Others On Board with Change at the Great Jolly Hoombah. Be sure to check out their new book, which is free for a limited time!
Jen from The Happy Homeowner asked a doozy of a question, To Marry for Money: Gold Digger or Financial Genius? My husband better say he married a financial genius. 🙂
Laurie from The Frugal Farmer reminded people Why You Should Choose to Start Your Journey to Debt-Free Today. Agreed. There is no better day to start eliminating your debt than today.
John at Frugal Rules asked Did Your College Degree Come with a Course on Student Loans? No, but it should. The good news more and more students are asking questions and not just signing on the dotted line.
Sicorra over at Tackling Our Debt shared 10 Best Money Tips for New Graduates. Getting their finances in order is one of the best graduation presents anyone can give himself.
Tonya at Budget and the Beach had the perfect post to kick off a week on Gratitude. It truly makes a difference in one’s life. And YAY for playing volleyball again!
Michelle at Making Sense of Cents pondered whether to Pursue What I Love or What Brings in Stable Money? I say both. Passion first, then figure out what you need to earn to live the life that makes you happy.
Mr. CBB at Canadian Budget Binder encountered a Young Cookie Selling Entrepreneur at a garage sale. Barely old enough to count change, but smart enough to know to save her money for something she truly wanted.
And for those looking for something to do this weekend, Mackenzie at The Random Path has a fun, Frugal, Jewelry Display project for all you ladies who suffer from tangled jewelry.
Well, that’s a wrap for this week. I wish everyone a safe and fun Memorial weekend!
The Heavy Purse Store is now open! My new downloadable Money Club Workbooks are now on sale. Each workbook provides five targeted lessons to help you raise Financially Confident Kids. Please check them out in The Heavy Purse Store.

Now, if we can just do something about those two clowns running the show, it might have a chance.... ;-)
Have an awesome 3 day weekend :)
Enjoy the long weekend!
