Moolanomy weekly roundup #6: “Money Wasters” edition

By Pinyo, on September 2, 2007

I would like to think that I started the movement with Top 10 money wasters, are you guilty?, but I doubt it. So, here are other posts about money wasters, money leaks, unnecessary expenses, or whatever you want to call it.

• Gather Little By Little, 7 Things I’ve Given Up to Prune My Expenses
• Money, Matter, and More Musings, What Are Your Money Leaks?
• No Credit Needed, Day 3 Of 33 Days And 33 Ways To Save Money And Reduce Debt : Sacrifice
• Consumerist, 10 Stupid Ways That Smart People Waste Money
• Every gal wanna be a Princess, Top 10 daily money wasters

Other posts I enjoyed this week:

• ChristianPF, Money Doesn’t Solve Money Problems. Amen. Are they NEEDS or WANTS? Most of the items we “need” today — e.g., cell phones, laundry machines, dishwasher, internet connection, etc. — did not even exist a few decades ago.
• Being Frugal, Paying Off Debt is All About Choices. Being frugal also works well for building wealth. I think controlling expenses is the most effective mean of getting out of debt and building wealth.
• Millionaire Mommy Next Door, 5 Things The Marshmallow Test Can Teach You About Money. This was a really interesting story. I guess being less impulsive and having good discipline helps.
• Mapgirl’s Fiscal Challenge, Not Every 401k Plan is Created Equal. My plan just changed a few months ago and I cannot say I like the web interface better — I do like the funds much better. I also manage 401k for mom and dad. I can definitely agree with Mapgirl on this one.
• Brip Blap, ten tips for new bloggers. Looks like I am doing okay according to this list.

Lastly, congratulation to Trent and wife on their new baby girl!
