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!
Additionally, my 20 Ways to Dine Out Inexpensively post was mentioned in the Can I Get Rich On A Salary carinval digest. I just wanted to say thanks.
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, and propeller. Together, we are spreading the word about the importance of financial literacy. I appreciate your help so much! Thanks.
