Uncommon Money News (Vol 29)


By: Roshawn Watson

In preparing to write my posts, I often come across noteworthy and sometimes bizarre financial and business news. Below are links to some of these sites. Enjoy!

I just wanted to give a special thanks to Penny Jobs for highlighting my post Signs That You Are Living Beyond Your Means as one of their top picks from the festival of frugality carnival. That’s awesome and appreciated.

I also wanted to thank all of you who are voting for articles from this site on social bookmarketing sites such as stumbleupon, reddit, delicious, propeller, and yahoo buzz. Together, we are spreading the word about the importance of financial literacy. I appreciate your help so much! Thanks.
