Valuable Links For Your Life-Oct 9-2008
Published October 10th, 2008What a roller coaster of a week in the world’s financial markets! It hasn’t affected me in a huge way, but it will hurt me in the wallet for our upcoming trip. The Canadian dollar hit a four year low today…just when we need to buy some U.S. dollars next week :( Oh well, things could always be worse. Now, take a break from the doom and gloom in the mass media, and enjoy some of the best personal finance posts from the blogosphere!
This week’s Carnival of Personal Finance was hosted by Girls Just Wanna Have Funds. The carnival included my post on my 3 Biggest Personal Finance Successes. Ginger did a great job, and these posts were my faves:
- Funny About Money’s vh is being pro-active in On the trail of the elusive job. With a potential lay-off on the horizon, this is one smart blogger who is hedging her bets. Let’s send some positive thoughts her way for her interview on Tuesday!
- Miss Thrifty says Make Do and Mend: Vogue For the Credit Crunch Bunch. This post made me smile, with some great time-tested tips for making what you have go that extra mile.
This week’s Festival of Frugality was over at Dollar Frugal. As usual, there were so many great posts, but these two really stood out from the pack:
- Saving Advice shares The Zen of Giving Away Your Stuff. Great post! Giving not only helps others, but makes us feel good as well
- Squawkfox has DIY project to rid your home of those pesky fruit flies–I will take on this challenge!
That’s it for now. I wish my fellow Canadians a happy Thanksgiving weekend!

Thanks for the mention! I had some good feedback, so I’ll probably be running additional tips from those lovely old books in the future…
