Link roundup: Crazy weather edition
May 19th, 2008 | by mbhunter |It’s either pouring rain or absolutely beautiful. Basically, if we don’t like the weather, we just have to wait a minute and it will change.
Here are some links of interest from the MBN and other blogs in my reader:

- Free Money Finance posts a reader’s upside-down mortgage dilemma. (There’s going to be more of this.)
