Okay, so it’s not Saturday, not Friday.
My wife and a just got back from a 3-night get away and I didn’t do any kind of work while gone. Nope, nada. Not a darn thing. 🙂
We did nothing but goof off, eat great food, check out great sights, lounge at the pool, and enjoy fantastic beverages.
Nope, no feelings of guilt here. Well, maybe a little bit. That’s why this is coming to you on Saturday, after we got home, instead of next week.
With that, here’re 5 more great blog posts to check out.
I really like the one on “Fun Money” accounts, but they’re all really good.

“We just never seemed to be on the same page at the same time. I wanted to try to max out our Roth IRA’s when he wanted to buy skiis. I wanted to buy some new clothes when he was hoping to go out to lunch for a going away party. So in an effort to save our sanity and our budget, we set up “fun money” accounts.”

“Tracking expenses are one of the fundamental steps anyone can take to help get a handle on where their money is going. It’s a step I alway recommend when asked for advice on how to get started getting financial organized.

How We Flunked Teaching Delayed Gratification – www.shepicksuppennies.com
“At the start of each school year, fundraisers are ubiquitous across the country. From cookie dough and wrapping paper to magazines and chocolate-covered pretzels, items are sold to family, friends, and neighbors to raise money for various school projects. In the past, students have been able to redeem their sales for assorted trinkets, plastic novelties, and the occasional gift card.
This year, however, many fundraiser organizations began to offer a lesson in delayed gratification. And that lesson failed miserably.”

Whatcha Know About Legacy Binders? – www.budgetsaresexy.com
“Got a note from a reader here after an unfortunate event happened at her work, and thought it was a great way to introduce a topic many of us don’t enjoy dealing with (and rightfully so ;)).
The timing was pretty impeccable too, as my father has once again asked me if I’ve filled out all the info from this book he keeps recommending to me and my siblings and I’m running out of excuses!”

Glad you liked the post and it sounds like a heck of a vacation! The joy of the fun money accounts is stuff that like is sort of prepaid. Less guilt, more fun! 🙂
Definitely an interesting concept. I’ve never thought of it before, but I’m thinking that I might have to set up a “Fun Account” and fund it for our little adventures, instead of just pulling from our discretionary funds.
As I read posts, I look for information that I find useful and/or interesting. There’s been many an article that I don’t finish because it was not interesting, not entertaining, or not useful. There’s no theme behind the recommendations, just articles that I think are worth reading.
I see that you’ve done some very in depth research on blogs and have set up a very impressive guide. I can only imagine the time that’s been invested in your project. It’s admirable, for sure.
