Bookmarked - Getting Back In The Groove Edition
Photo by psdHappy Fall, everybody!
With the start of the fall semester, I just want to take a moment and thank those of you who have been visiting my blog over the past few months — I truly appreciate every visitor. And if you’re just stopping by for the first time, I encourage you to look around. If you like what you see, consider subscribing to Student Scrooge via RSS Feed or via Email.
My apologies for the relative lack of posts lately — I have been pretty busy over the last week or two with the start of the fall term; I had a couple of posts that I had meant to finish, and you’ll be seeing those appear over the next few days. Hopefully things will be back to normal soon!
Carnivals
Broke Grad Student hosted the 167th Carnival of Personal Finance - Highlights from the Beijing 2008 Olympics edition, which included my post on whether or not interest rate is all that matters when choosing a bank. I was surprised and honored to be picked as an Editor’s Choice (or, in keeping with the Beijing theme, receive a Gold Medal). Very cool!
That One Caveman over at One Caveman’s Financial Journey hosted the 168th Carnival of Personal Finance - Fire Up The Grill, It’s Labor Day! edition, which included my post on those sketchy looking ATMs.
Frugal Babe hosted the 142nd Festival of Frugality last week, which included my post on travel discounts for college students.
Thanks to the hosts of these carnivals — it really is a lot of work, and each did a great job.
Of Note…
- Broke Grad Student offers some great financial tips for college students heading back to campus. Most of them are pretty basic but fundamental suggestions, but definitely a good reminder given how easy it is to get yourself into financial trouble in college.
- Similarly, Patrick over at Cash Money Life presents his own money tips for college students on how to have a successful financial philosophy in college. Its all about getting in the proper mindset with regards to money, and training yourself early can huge benefits.
- Steven Levitt over at the Freakonomics blog at the New York Times has a guest post that does a very good job of explaining what exactly has been happening on Wall Street the last few days, and what the implications are for us as taxpayers and as consumers.
