Bookmarked: Looking Back and Looking Forward
It is hard to believe that September has already come to an end! Looking back at the traffic stats for Student Scrooge, it has been fun to see the organic growth that has been occurring. Hopefully it keeps heading in the right direction!

Carnivals…
I participated in the 171st Carnival of Personal Finance - The Celebrate Fall Edition over at Sound Money Matters. Included in the carnival was my post on cash discounts appearing at gas stations.
I also participated in the 172nd Carnival of Personal Finance - The Meltdown Edition over at Debt Kid, which included my post on whether it is OK to lie in the name of frugality. (I was also excited to see the great Political Calculations blog consider it their “Best Post of the Week, Anywhere!” among the last week’s money and business related carnivals. Cool!).
Finally, my post on quick tips for textbook shopping was included in the 145th Festival of Frugality - The Gratitude Edition, hosted by Value For Your Life.
Thanks to all three hosts!
Around the Blogosphere…
The round-up this week has a very “college” student theme:
- Jim over at Blueprint for Financial Prosperity had an interesting post with 40 Money Tips for College Students. He is dead on with his two most important rules: first, to graduate with no debt (something far too many college students don’t understand), and second to have fun (which is something that you can easily lose sight of).
- Frugal Dad has a great list of six secrets to save money when you are young. These are very “big picture” suggestions (as opposed to Jim’s above), but are all so important — I wish every young person would at least give consideration to these suggestions.
- Just as a lot of college students begin to think about the next step, Trent over at The Simple Dollar has some great suggestions on how to find and utilize a mentor — something that really can be useful at all levels of life.
- Finally, of course, not every moment of the day needs to be productive. Broke Grad Student gives us 8 sites to help every college student procrastinate.
Tuesday: “Synchroblog” Project
This coming Tuesday, I will be participating in a joint blogging project with ten other bloggers on the subject of what the next (United States presidential) administration can do to improve the economic health of the U.S. middle class. All ten bloggers will post their own thoughts on Tuesday morning — timed to coincide with the day of the second presidential debate — and then provide links to all of the other entries. Some major personal finance bloggers are participating (I feel a bit out of my league!), so it should be fun!
