BUDGETING Daniel @ Make Money Make Cents writes The Boom in Posh Pawnbrokers – If you watch any TV at all you have probably at least glanced at some of the myriad Pawn reality shows that have become so popular as of late.

Tushar @ Start Investing Money writes 3 Reasons to Become an Unusual Investor – When we think about investments the usual suspects pop into our minds. We think of the stock market.

Festival of Frugality #384
Tax season is over, y’all!!! Well, except for those who filed extensions. My husband and I are bad PF bloggers and waited until about a week ago to do our taxes. We realized that we didn’t have a W-2 from Kyle’s side job (we don’t think it was ever issued), so we had to file an extension. I actually enjoyed doing our taxes more this year than ever because I have more and more understanding … Read entire article »

Festival of Frugality #372
Welcome to the 372th Edition of the Festival of Frugality! Food-Related Harry Campbell presents Is Restaurant Week Even a Good Deal? posted at Your Personal Finance Pro. “Have you heard of restaurant week? Most large metropolitan cities have some form of it, but the general idea is that you pay a discounted rate for a three course price fixed dinner at a top restaurant in your city. In San Diego, the options are for $20/$30/$40 dinners at over 150 restaurants. There are obviously quite a few options and three courses for $20-$40 may sound like a good deal but I’m here to tell you, it’s not.” Colin Williams presents What Is The Real Cost Of Coffee, Snacks and Lunch To You? posted at humble savers. “This post comes with a FREE calculator to … Read entire article »

Financial Simplicity Carnival #10
I kicked around a few ideas for the theme of this carnival – the Kentucky Derby was yesterday, for example, and Mother’s Day is next week (have you sent your mom a present yet?) but in the end I couldn’t pass up playing around with the coincidence that this is the tenth edition of the Financial Simplicity Carnival. That means there’s an order of magnitude more Financial Simplicity Carnival posts than there were when Nick launched it! And if any of you haven’t seen the Scale of the Universe video yet (it’s been around quite a while) you really must take 5 minutes to watch it now! It shows the structure of the world, solar system, galaxy, and universe from 1 meter to 1026 meters. Going smaller from 1 m … Read entire article »
