Sunday Roundup – The Back Porch Edition
Tip It!After having abnormally cold weather earlier this week (along with a malfunctioning heat pump) it’s now 70 degrees and sunny. As such, I’m coming to you live from the back porch. Gotta love that wireless internet! And now, time for a link roundup…
For starters, here are a few articles on budgeting:
- Lazy Budgeting: Planning $500+ Purchases Ahead of Time
- The $100-a-Day-Rule Prevents Impulse Buying
- How to Make a Budget In 10 Easy Steps
Next up, four articles about investing:
- ETFs or Index Funds: Which are Right for You?
- Can You Invest Solely in ETF’s?
- What Is The Best Porfolio Rebalancing Strategy?
- Behavior Gap: The Psychology of Investing
And finally, here are four other somewhat random articles that caught my eye:
- How to Buy Gas With Your Driver’s License
- Seven Money Lessons Learned During 7 Years of Marriage
- Five Personal Finance Tips You Don’t Always Hear About
- How the Winter Can Save You Money
I included that last one for those of you that are still mired in the midst of a long, cold winter. That’s it for now… Time to enjoy the rest of the day!

I love behavior gap sketches! I’ve been meaning to write about them for a while. Good pick.

Hey Nickel I really appreciate the mention! I got the idea for the article about saving money in the winter the other day when everyone was going out but I figured if I’m cold with 3 layers on there really is no point to be going out. I wonder if anyone else here finds themselves saving more money in the winter or spending more?
