Can You Balance the Budget?

Do you have your own finances figured out? Try this little budget game from PBS.org and see how you do on a slightly higher scale! Pretty simplistic but give it a whirl!



Some good reading -

Time to circle the wagons? Over at The Digerati Life, Jacques Sprenger does some tough talking with 10 Frugal Steps to Help You Survive a Tough Economy.

Michelle Singletary’s column in The Washington Post, The Color of Money, has a great piece called Chart a Road Map to Weather Rocky Times. In it, she shares strategies for different age groups, designed to help us make it through.

The Simple Dollar writes about changing the things you can and accepting the things you can’t in a very thoughtful post Changes You Can Make.

Carnivals in which I recently participated -

I had a good money day recently. My post about it appeared in the 79th Carnival of Money Stories at Living Almost Large. LAL found a bunch of good cartoons to illustrate the categories and calls this the “Carton Edition”. I’m sure the current financial situation is providing plenty of fodder for illustrators these days!

My post on Going Scratch was published on the Make It From Scratch Carnival #84. There are always lots of good ideas on that carnival.
