  •  Tip It!

Here’s a quick look at some of my favorite posts from a year ago this week:

• How Flexible Spending Accounts SHOULD Work — Thoughts on the use-it-or-lose-it provision of FSAs and how I think they should work.

• Unsolicited eBay Advice — A few tips on how to be successful on eBay.

• Kids & Money: Tweaking our Allowance System — Details on our allowance system. (After incorporating these changes, we’ve left the system untouched — it’s as close to perfection as we can make it!)

• Rental Car Insurance — A quick tip on how to save when you rent a car.
