This Week's Drinking Buddies (and PF roundup)

PF Happy HourAnother month down, another PF Blogger Happy Hour! We headed over to Brickskeller this time, where a quaint party of 6 talked finance, blogging, beer, and most importantly - how expensive dating can get! (and you thought I was going to say girl on girl action, didn't you? Hah! Wrong blog...)

In a place that serves HUNDREDS and hundreds of beers you'd think I'd pick something adventurous, but sadly I stuck w/ my Bud Lights & Coke all night long. For reasons I shall not go into, it was mandatory that I stayed out of trouble ;) Which brings us to this week's favorite articles, written by none other than the 5 bloggers who were kind enough to share their company (and brain) with me. Please to enjoy:
  1. Map Girl: I Got Scammed By Craigslist - Oh boy...be sure to skim the tips at the end!
  2. Clever Dude: Our Secret to Success: Part One: Spending Less Than We Earn - In case you couldn't tell, I've been all about the simple theories lately ;) And Mike does this favorite tip of mine excellent justice. Plus, he talks about a budget.
  3. Mrs Micah: Keeping Your Word to Children About Money - An awesome story from the past, and good to know when I start popping out mini J Moneys!
  4. Budget Pulse (Craig): You Sure Refinancing Will Help You Build Cash? Nope, but I'd still love to *save* some cash by refi'ing! If only...
  5. Building Wealth Together (Brian): Dude, I Totaled My Car - That def. sucks, but now the real question comes into play. Pick up another used one, or go for a solid new one? I say get a $3k Pimp Mobile aka Caddy ;)
And now, the carnivals I participated in:
  1. Carnival of Personal Finance #210 - "Punch Out" ed. hosted by Suburban Dollar.
  2. Carnival of Twenty Something Finances - hosted by PF Firewall.
  3. Festival of Frugality - "Honeymoon Destination" ed. hosted by Financial Highway.
  4. Money Hacks Carnival #70 - hosted by Blogging Banks.
  5. Carnival of Pecuniary Delights #13 - "Summer Vacation" ed. hosted by Momma's Blog.
  6. Carnival of Money Stories - hosted by Consumer Boomer.
PS: I highly recommend getting together & networking with people in your own area if possible. Not only is meeting new friends cool, but you could learn a lot on a subject (like finance) that many of your "normal" friends may find taboo ;) That makes blogging great, of course, but there's nothing like some face to face interaction every now and then to spice it up.
