Link roundup: Mrs. MBH birthday edition

June 10th, 2008 | by mbhunter |

Monday was my wonderful wife’s birthday. She got most of her presents early. But that’s all right. I have a really hard time surprising her because she’s very smart. (And not only did I manage to remember it, Wii Fit did too! The animated balance board had a birthday hat on and was throwing confetti.)

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

• Get Rich Slowly demystifies unit pricing.
• No Credit Needed pays himself first, last, and all along the way.
• Wise Bread describes what things should be insured and what things shouldn’t.
• All Financial Matters lists ten affordable ways to help keep your kids entertained during the summer.
• Consumerism Commentary wonders if you can judge a financial adviser by her portfolio.
• Five Cent Nickel had ants in his pants, but not anymore.
• Free Money Finance is fed up with Wal-Mart.

(I don’t blame him!)

Have a great week!
