Link roundup: Gender bender edition
November 10th, 2008 | by mbhunter |
A friend from church and I went to Best Buy to get a few RCA gender benders for his video project. You know, the adapters that turn a “male” end into a “female” end. Related to this, I’ve always found it a little confusing that the female connections are called “jacks.”
But anyway, here are links of interest from a few of the great blogs in my reader:
- Free Money Finance had his house purchase fall through but he talks about what he learned.
- Free From Broke talks about how eating out less has improved life around the house.
- Blogging Away Debt discovered she could get only a little bit of cash for her gadgets.
- Retire at 40 describes how to sort out your finances in stages.
- Paid Twice wonders if we’re all driving differently now that gas is below $2 again.
- Cash Money Life suggests investing as much as you can now.
- Christian PF rattles off five Bible verses about money that every Christian should know.
- Lazy Man and Money does a checkup of his early retirement plans.
- Digerati Life guest poster Tanesha talks herself out of a new car.
- No Credit Needed is tired of being treated like a criminal.
- All Financial Matters analyzes the down times of the S&P.
Mighty Bargain Hunter participated in four carnivals last week:
- SimplyForties included my lost wallet post in the Carnival of Money Stories.
- Bargain Briana included my little money-saving things post in the Festival of Frugality.
- Sun’s Financial Diary included my eBay shipping squeeze post in the Carnival of Personal Finance.
- The Skilled Investor included my planning post in the Carnival of Financial Planning.
Last, but not least, a big hat-tip to Free Money Finance and The Consumerist for the link love!

Thanks for the link MBH. Very much appreciated.
It’s funny, that was one of my favourite articles from my last few but it got Tipd the least … I will try and figure out why
The series ‘Lazy Man and Money’ has been doing is great and very interesting. He seems to have a great number of things sorted out for his retirement!

You know, calling the female end the “jack” makes sense, but at the same time, it is a little weird.
Thanks for the mention!
