Link roundup: Scour edition

July 28th, 2008 | by mbhunter |

I’ve scoured my feed reader for some of the best articles from the MBN and others:

• Five Cent Nickel serves up a list of twelve resources for buying smart.  (Surprisingly, eBay isn’t one of the ones he lists!)
• Free Money Finance discusses the “sad rule” of home buying.  (I’d never heard of this one.)
• Get Rich Slowly calls us to action and encourages us to persevere with consumer debt even if the deck is stacked against us.
• No Credit Needed reports back on the results of over 1,000 votes on his emergency fund poll.
• Wise Bread questions whether your standard of living should rise.
• All Financial Matters shows how to annualize a rate of return.
• Consumerism Commentary says that your money in the bank is safe.  (As doomsday as I can be at times, I agree.)
• Lazy Man and Money gives 35 tips for saving on gas.
• Digerati Life hosts a guest post from Weight Ladder on how being overweight costs.
• Generation X Finance lists 12 big money mistakes people make.  (After looking down the list I saw five that I do at the moment.  Ouch!)
• Money Smart Life posts on the top ten ETFs.
• Sun’s Financial Diary shows how Google can help you with your budget.

Additionally, a hat tip to Taking Charge for including my Amazon grocery article in last week’s Carnival of Personal Finance!

Have a great week!
