Happppppy Friday!!!! This time next week SXSW will be happenin’ – W00T! Are any of y’all going? To the interactive part? My boy Nate and I will be hitting it up for the first time ever, and we have no idea what to expect. Everyone we talk to just keeps saying how much we’re gonna LOVE it, so we’re hoping it works out that way! At the very least, it’ll be awesome talking & meeting & dancing with new people ;) Gonna party the entire week! Haha… I need the release badly.
And guess what else is coming out for the FIRST TIME EVER? The Financial Blogger Conference! Woooooo! The dates haven’t been picked yet, but it’ll be going down sometime in the Fall. All your fave bloggers will be there! :) And now onto my favorite articles from around the ‘net. Grab your coffee and enjoy!

Budgets Are Sexy has been lovingly prepared by me, J$, and motivated by YOU - the community! While this blog seems random at times, our main goal here is simple: To keep personal finance fun. And the earlier you start rockin' that money, the better! This stuff isn't just for old people - it's for ALL people. So whether you came to learn about credit cards, 401k, budget planning, retirement, or anything else relating to money, I give you a hearty pat on the back for seeking it out. The more we research, the more we learn baby!

Hey J. Money,
I’ve heard good things about SXSW, but it’s a long way to go from Oz!
Nice round-up too, but instead of referencing Wikipedia, I think you should plug my post on delayed gratification instead, it even has a fun video ;)
