Weekly Roundup – 05/11/07
Here’s a quick look at the articles that caught my eye over the past week…

JLP has some thoughts on what to do when you’re too scared to invest. His advice? Just do it.

Sun pulled the trigger and opened an FNBO Direct account. Click through for all the gory details.
Art of Making Money says that bulk does not always equal frugal.
My Retirement Blog has a list of reasons to start saving for retirement right now. Pretty standard stuff, but still worth the read.

Nick has an entertaining contrarian view of the cost of do-it-yourself projects.
Finally, Trent shared some thoughts on what he learned living through a major flood. I also grew up not far from the Mississippi River and recall seeing the devastation caused by floods of this sort. Not good, and Trent’s post is a great reminder of the importance of being prepared.
