Link roundup: Quilt’s almost done edition

I’ve mentioned before off and on that my wife is an excellent quilter. She blogs about blocks here and we have a few of her patterns up on eBay. She’s been working on her first contest entry for a couple of months now, and she’ll submit it on Monday. I’ve seen her work on it every night for a while and it’s great to see how her efforts have taken form.

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

Consumerism Commentary suggests not comparing yourself to others with regard to net worth. (It’s largely a race against yourself; no one else’s net worth really matters nearly as much.)
Five Cent Nickel talks about BankRate’s Safe & Sound ratings for financial condition. (I think the bottom line is that if you have well under $100,000 in your account, you’re fine regardless of where your money is.)
Free Money Finance is all for de-junking.
Get Rich Slowly has risen to the occasion when it comes to baking bread. (My mother in law — and my wife — both have this art mastered and I can tell you there’s no comparison to good, freshly-baked bread.)
No Credit Needed, fresh back from camp this evening, wrote the second post in his bills-in-a-box series.
Wise Bread turns down free money because the risk just isn’t worth the reward.
All Financial Matters advises not cashing out your 401(k) before the appointed time. (More Americans are doing this and it’s a costly way to meet expenses.)
Digerati Life discusses credit reports and who uses them.
Generation X Finance polls his readers as to when the market is going to recover.
Money Smart Life interprets the wealth wisdom of Kung Fu Panda.
Sun’s Financial Diary reveals some investments you might want to catch wind of.
Blueprint for Financial Prosperity runs down the best places to sell your stuff.
Cash Money Life reminds us not to underestimate the little things.
Not Made of Money introduces the Frugal Blog Network.

Also a big thank-you to The Budgeting Babe for including my airline walletectomy article in this week’s Carnival of Personal Finance!

Have a great rest of the weekend!
