Link Roundup: Bachelor edition

April 28th, 2008 | by mbhunter |

I was effectively a bachelor this weekend. My wife and daughter were out of town for a wedding. They’re on the way back now, and not a moment too soon. The house seems empty without them.

Anyway, here are some links from the MBN and other blogs in my reader:

• Consumerism Commentary gives an introduction to ethical consumerism.
• Wise Bread thinks that we actually are changing our driving habits to meet the high price of gasoline.
• Five Cent Nickel discusses the future of renewable energy. (I think his assessment puts things way too mildly, but at least it’s somewhat cheery.)
• No Credit Needed starts off a debt reduction guide.
• Get Rich Slowly is floored by the cost of storing stuff.
• Free Money Finance has a guest post on purchasing power and inflation.
• All Financial Matters explains how he squashes the new car bug. (This is an excellent bug to squash.)
• The Sun’s Financial Diary bought some more of the yellow stuff.
• Money Smart Life gives three ways to make extra money in a recession.
• Generation X Finance thinks that higher food prices might be good for society.
• Lazy Man and Money tells how the military can save money with very inexpensive vacations.
• The Digerati Life shows how you could save 80% on your grocery bill. (I may need to rethink coupons a little bit.)
• Banker Girl discusses the perils of having affluent friends.
• Gather Little By Little shares thirteen ways to save when grocery shopping.
• Get Rich Slick announces that environmentalism has been hijacked by consumerism.
• Cash Money Life gives nine good ways to save money on your next computer.
• Punny Money wonders who bought all of those Hummers last year. (The cartoons are doing good things for this site.)
• Paid Twice discusses something I struggle with: Why get rid of it if it’s perfectly good?

Thanks to The Happy Rock for including my articles on PayPal making it a chore to pay by credit cards in last week’s Carnival of Personal Finance. (Also appreciated that he included my “walk-away” post from Living After Foreclosure.) Thanks to No Debt Plan for including my article on high-income debt in last week’s Carnival of Debt Reduction.

Enjoy!
