Mid-Week Personal Finance Articles
- Brip Blap: Like many of you, I feel that time flies way too fast, with my days feeling much shorter than 24 hours. So this great productivity post marks the spot; it tell us how to make the most out of our days.
- Million Dollar Journey: True, if you upgrade your housing, you’ll introduce a whole slew of expenses into the picture. Once you get bigger or fancier digs, there’s automatically more financial outlay.

Thanks for the link!
thanks for a the carnival, have just been reading some of the links you mentioned. I quite like the way to have kept things to a few quality posts rather than listing every article under the sun! Hope you’re having a good week
Fun advice and insight into finances thanks!
Refinancing can be worthwhile, but it does not make good financial sense for everyone.
Ed: I would hope you could provide some scenarios for when refinancing isn’t a good option?
