Posts Worth Mentioning This Week

POSTED BY Shan on Aug 24 under best posts

These are some of my favorite posts I’ve read this week. They’re worth checking out:

Utlizing The Public Library to Complete Some Goals (My Money Blog) - We live two blocks from our library, so we use it often. It truly is a great resource, and this blog offers five goals you can accomplish there.
The Bike Commute: How to Prepare to Ride Your Bicycle to Work (Money Under Thirty) - This post caught my attention because I’ve been kicking around the idea of biking to work for quite a while now. I drive a freaking awesome 2000 Toyota Echo that gets 35 miles to the gallon, so I don’t feel too guilty for driving my 26 mile round-trip commute. What’s holding me back is the time commitment. That and the fear of dying. Although, we have a pretty good paved trail network I can use for half of the commute. I’m still undecided.
Living In A Down Economy - Determining Your Bare Bones Budget (I’ve Paid For This Twice Already…) - This post reminds us that we should have an idea of what our essentials cost us every month. It is especially poignant for those of us without a fully-funded emergency fund because if your income were to stop you’ll have to be prepared to move immediately into Plan B. That’s where your bare bones budget comes into play.
HOWTO trick your printer into using ALL its ink (Boing Boing) - Not a PF post, but I really hate how printer manufacturers try to milk as much money out of consumers as they can. This is a good idea for getting the most ink out of your cartridge so you can stick it to da man.

I love that first link to the article regarding the library. I believe everybody should go to the library at least once a week. Hmmm, perhaps some people are discovering the library. I checked my holds position on an extremely popular new book, still 500+ out.
