Here are some recent links from fellow bloggers that made my cursor pause…

Grad Money Matters ponders when to stop chasing money? How do we know at what point when we need to slow down? Good question.

Wisebread offers up some cheap things to do in San Francisco. I always like to see other people’s views of an area I am familiar with; everyone always has different ideas. The comments are good too.

The Consumerist tracks the continuing trail of destruction by the Grocery Shrink Ray. AllFinancialMatters laments the shrinking beer bottles of certain brands. Or are they 1/3 liter bottles? Or are 1/3 liter bottles a convenient metric-system-abusing excuse? Financial Ramblings says we get what the market decides. I believe, with consumer awareness, the balance can be shifted.

Get Rich Slowly talks about the best salesman in the world, whose path to riches lay in selling $5 potato peelers on the streets of New York City. Interesting story.

No Credit Needed offers an illustrated guide to debt reduction. I like pictures.

The Simple Dollar explains why they decided to finally merge their married finances.

  1. there’s just so muh left in those toothpaste tubes that can be salvaged. it’s well worth the extra effort to squeeze that last brushing out of them.

    but is making your own really worth the time?

  2. I still have the DYI buzz cut! Five years ago I shelled out $60 for some professional-quality clippers. I must be down to $0.50/haircut by now.

  3. Thanks for the mention! Cutting your kids’ or spouse’s hair can be a great way to save money, and unlike DIY tattoos (kidding!), the mistakes eventually go away.

  4. Thanks for the mention!! The toothpaste thing was fun!! 😉
