One Money Design Weekly Round Up: Four Day Weekend Edition

Fri, Sep 4, 2009

Round Up Posts

iStock_000005857420XSmallThe weekend is here and I’m looking forward to some extended fun over this Labor Day holiday.  Yes, that’s right, it’s a four day weekend for me!  I was on vacation today, so I can happily say this is a nice little vacation for me!   A longer weekend is always a great opportunity for spending time with my family, catching up on chores around the house, and working on some more personal finance posts.  It’s already off to a good start as I’ve reflected on this week.  On with the round up!

This week I had the opportunity to meet up with another personal finance blogger in-person, Phil @ Prime Time Money.   Phil has been blogging at PT Money for over two years.  In just a short meeting, I learned a lot from Phil and got a sense for his passion of blogging and personal finance.  Check out PT Money when you get a chance.  Oh, you can also find PT Money on Twitter.

I’m pleased to announce my article, How Do You Manage Unexpected Expenses?, was included in The Carnival of Personal Finance  #220 - History of Football Edition this week hosted by Stretchy Dollar.

A few of the articles I enjoyed reading around the personal finance blogosphere this week

Grocery Game update

Each week, we’re trying to save money by playing the Grocery Game.   This week, I made a trip to Tom Thumb to shop with our Grocery Game list and coupons.   Some might ask, “Isn’t Tom Thumb one of the more expenses grocery shopping options in the Dallas area?”  Not when you’re playing the Grocery Game!  Check out the savings below.

  • Debit Card Total:  $55.52
  • Remarkable Savings (savings because items were on sale):  $31.22
  • Coupon Savings:  $15.22
  • Total Savings Value (46%):  $46.44!!!

      Since finances are one of the most often discussed topics in the New Testament, it would seem obvious that God would use that area to test our obedience to Him. Each Christian must come to the position where God's approval is more important than the world's riches. Than, and only then, will the full measure of God's peace and power be experien […]
