Favorite Posts, Mentions, and Top Comments Week of 30June2013

We had a bit of a weird week!  We had planned on working three days and taking the 4th and 5th off.  We still took the last two days off, but on Monday morning we were confronted with a leak in the ceiling in our townhouse.  We kind of freaked out and spend the day cleanup up and trying to get in touch with our property management company.  We both worked a bit later in the day but it sucked to miss the most productive part of the day in an already short week.

 

On Thursday morning we flew out and we’ve spent the long weekend in Madison, WI for a wedding.  It actually has felt like a vacation for once and not a jam-packed trip!  I’ll have a post up later in the week about what we did and how much money we’ve spent.  🙂  It’s definitely been a freer-spending trip than what we normally take.

Done by Forty extended my point in First Values and Goals, Then Strategies to time as well as money: “This is great advice, and not just for personal finance. How often do we charge into a new activity (exercise, improving diet, new hobbies, personal improvement, etc. etc.) with a focus on tactics & strategies before we’ve bothered to set clear goals?”
