Link roundup: Soon-to-be-drenched edition

September 6th, 2008 | by mbhunter |

We’re back from New York, and planning for a lot of rain in Virginia from Tropical Storm Hanna.

First off, a big thank-you to Smart Spending for linking to my article on evaluating kids’ extracurricular activites!

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

• No Credit Needed serves up a spreadsheet for calculating average daily balance.
• Five Cent Nickel shares his tips for selling on eBay.
• Consumerism Commentary lost $700 worth of stuff but didn’t lose the lesson.
• All Financial Matters is feeling the draft from the grocery shrink ray.  (And less of a workout from an 11.2-ounce curl.)
• Wise Bread talks about family business.
• Free Money Finance asks how much a date costs.  (It’s well known FMF is a very cheap date.  One bowl of Moose Tracks and he’s under the table.)
• Get Rich Slowly passes on five basic credit card skills.  (Master these and most other things will fall into place.)
• Mrs. Micah thinks that ING Electric Orange checking accounts are a bad idea.  (If you don’t agree, you may sign up here for a $25 ING bonus, though. )
• Frugal Upstate says that her kids look forward to pizza day.
• Green Panda Treehouse discusses which bills to pay first if money is really, really tight.

Mighty Bargain Hunter participated in two carnivals this week:

• One Caveman’s Financial Journey included my kids’ extracurricular activities post in this week’s Carnival of Personal Finance
• Funny about Money included my wild pizza oats post in this week’s Carnival of Money Stories

Have a great weekend, and stay dry!
