Link roundup: Music competition edition

February 25th, 2008 | by mbhunter |

Today I attended my Lions Club’s student music competition.  It’s always fun to listen to these.  Always a lot of hard work going into these competitions.  I hope that these kids continue with the music and keep their hands in it; music is one thing that can bring joy to life regardless of how rough things get.  Most churches at least have a piano.

Here are links of interest from the MBN and other great blogs in my reader:

• Free Money Finance shares his thoughts about where he thinks the stock market is headed this year.

• Consumerism Commentary has a guest post on the argument against mortgage prepayment.
• Wise Bread serves up six horrible financial products that you should avoid.
• Five Cent Nickel explains one way to crunch numbers to see if early retirement is in the cards.
• No Credit Needed realized that sometimes you just need to take a day off and go golfing.  (I went bowling this past weekend.  Watching my 3 year old push the bowling ball down the slide to knock the pins down was great.)
• Get Rich Slowly interviewed Alan Shepard, author of Scratch Beginnings.
• Lazy Man and Money had a “tax the unhealthy” series.
