To all of the men and women serving and protecting our country: thank you.

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

• Five Cent Nickel discusses the social consequences of being frugal.
• Free Money Finance reports on the only seven investments you’ll ever need. (What do you think?)
• Get Rich Slowly has a guest post on teaching a four-year-old on the value of money. (As with anything worthwhile, the earlier it’s taught, the better.)
• No Credit Needed does a calculation most of us will start to need to do.
• Wise Bread says that some pretty simple advice increased his gas mileage more than 50%.
• All Financial Matters posted in detail how his finances have changed over the past ten years.
• Consumerism Commentary feels like gas station pricing policies are, well, taking him for a ride.
• Digerati Life serves up eight ways to save a grand.
• Generation X Finance relays a tricky 401(k) situation.
• Money Smart Life gives ten ways you can protect yourself from identity theft.
• Lazy Man and Money discusses the future of personal finance tools.
• Sun’s Financial Diary gives some hints on hospital shopping. (People seem less likely to comparison shop for their medical expenses.)

Thank you to Money and Values for including my post on upside-down mortgages in last week’s Carnival of Personal Finance!

Have a great week!
