Stumble it! Tip it! Facebook it! | 01/16/10

My daughter turned five Wednesday.  Like a snap of the fingers, it seems.  (She really needs to quit growing up so fast!)

Here are some links of interest from this past week:

• Sweating the Big Stuff debates how to use the second half of his signing bonus windfall.
• The Balanced Spreadsheet discusses how to update your own budget.
• Five Cent Nickel is now debt-free.  (Congratulations!)
• Free Money Finance earned over $800 in credit card rewards last year.
• Squawkfox lists ten ways to save on your fitness membership costs.
• Bargaineering says not to pay to file Form 1040-EZ.
• Generation X Finance reports on the new law that makes it harder for teens to get credit
• Wise Bread writer Philip Brewer talks about frugality, simplicity, and sustainability.

A couple of other things:

• Eliminate the Muda stopped by Cash Commons this week and gave some great answers!
• Speaking of Cash Commons, I’ve thrown some money into the $8,200+ kitty for the Money Crashers 2010 New Year’s Giveaway Bash!  Just follow Cash Commons on Twitter (@CashCommons) and follow the rules over at Money Crashers and you’ll get some extra entries for the whopping $34.56 cash I’ll be handing out, as well as other great prizes.

Have a great weekend!  And if you have kids, enjoy how young they are now.
