Moolanomy weekly roundup #13: “300″ edition

By Pinyo, on October 21, 2007

Wow, another week has passed. Time sure fly fast. This is another good week for Moolanomy because the blog now has more than 300 feed subscribers. Moreover, two other members of the M-Network also reached the same 300 milestone recently: Being Frugal and I’ve Paid for This Twice Already…

For this week roundup, I once again use the opportunity to highlight some of my readers’ blog.

From my readers’ blog:

There are a lot of readers I want to feature this week, but I will have to limit to 7 for now. If I miss you, I will try to catch you next week.

• Is it a good idea to use your ROTH IRA as your Emergency fund? @ myinvestingblog.com — I would never use my retirement as an emergency fund. However, I think there’s a merit to this, which I will discuss in the near future.
• Change Your Family Tree By Making Solid Financial Decisions @ The Happy Rock — this is another Dave Ramsey’s idea that good financial decisions today can influence your family for generations to come — a very powerful idea.
• 5 Things I Bought New and Wish I Hadn’t @ Rather-Be-Shopping.com — A good list of things that can be bought used instead of new.
• Misunderstanding the Bid/Ask Spread in Stock Trading @ The Essentials of Trading — this is a clarification of my post “The Hidden Cost of Free Stock Trades“

From the M-Network:

• The Readers Speak: The Easy Frugal Things They Do @ Being Frugal — excellent list of frugal ideas from Being Frugal readers. I hope you guys get back on your feet soon.
• Does swearing in the workplace benefit morale? @ Christian Finance — I think it hurts more than it helps.
• A Guideline Budget – How Do You Compare? @ Gather Little By Little — this is a very good exercise that provides insight about your money values and financial demons.
• A Solid Breakfast @ I’ve Paid For This Twice Already… — this is a guest post from one of my favorite blogger, Brip Blap.
• Ten Reasons You Should Quit Your Job Today @ My Two Dollars — funny.
• Measuring financial success @ Plonkee Money — Plonkee shares her definition of financial success: “financial success means being able to buy the nice things that I want and not worrying about where the money has come from.”
• Sweet Investment Property @ Single Guy Money — my friend has been busy this week searching for investment property. If you are interested in starting this business, check out his story.
• When is OK Good Enough? @ The Dough Roller — it’s a philosophical question, but my answer is when I can learn to appreciate the word “enough.”
