FBN Roundup- No Internet Edition

by Andy Hough on September 28, 2008

I’m out of town this weekend visiting my mother and she doesn’t have internet.  I’ve scheduled this post in advance but won’t be on to check comments or emails until Sunday evening.

Here are some posts I enjoyed from the Frugal Blog Network and beyond this week.

Almost Frugal shares “three life lessons” she learned last week.  It seems there are always more lessons to learn.

Frugal Babe now has a “finished greenhouse“.  I was impressed with their creativity making the greenhouse cheaply.

Not Made of Money is cashing in on the “fall garage sales.”  My mom and aunts are garage sale maniacs and I often benefit from their bargain finds.

The Frugal Duchess tells us “what happens when your bank goes under“.   I had my money in a bank that went under back in the early 90′s.  It was a non-event.  On Friday my money was in one bank and on Monday it was in a different bank.  The branches, account numbers, and everything else was the same.  The only difference to me was that my bank now  had a different name.

From beyond the Frugal Blog Network I enjoyed:

My Dollar Plan’s post “29 Steps I took to Leave the Workforce at 29.”  I wish I had taken these steps back when I was in my 20′s.

And some bonuses for those of you who like free money:

At Bank Bonuses I posted about how you can get “over $300 in bonuses from Sovereign Bank.”

At Credit Card Bonuses there is a post about a “$100 American Express Bonus.”

That is all for now.  October is going to be an extremely busy month for me at school so I’ll probably be posting less frequently.  I’ll still post at least three times a week though.

Be Sociable, Share!

That was the first time I had been away from the internet over a day for quite a while. I think I need to take some one day internet breaks more often.

I’ll be following your blog to see how your retirement goes.
