Weekly Updates
- Yay for the weekend! Seriously, I need it. This was the week of the month that I handled ad renewals…just think of more than 500 emails flinging around in cyber space from you and right at you for 3 days straight.
- I have a variety of sites up for sale. Please email me if you are interested.
Don’t worry, I am not going anywhere – just spring cleaning. - Remember to sign up for my newsletter (in the right sidebar) —-> to be able to enter the separate giveaway that I host for subscribers only every month! Plus, I share things in the newsletter that I no longer share here (hint…what do you think happened to my monthly income reports)…
Weekly Favorites
- Live Real, Now with My First Storage Auction Cool beans!!! I’ve been wanting to go to one of these for a year or so.

- Little House in the Valley with Bad Choices Can Be Costly And emotionally disastrous.
- Evolving PF with Grocery Challenge Update for February 2013 We lost some receipts too, so our food fight update will be as good as it gets with the credit card statement.
- Eyes on the Dollar with The Line Between Making Money and Being a Sell Out I am a big fan of money, always have been. I’m not sure if I am even against “selling out”. Do I want BFS to be a big, spammy ad page? No. But would I sell for $200,000 right now, oh hells yeah. Someone make me an offer.
- Budgeting Cake with My Net Worth Story I love peeking in at other people’s money stuff (probably why you read BFS, lol).
- Tight Fisted Miser with February Expenses – $885.91 I really need to go back and see where he lives…I feel very wasteful now…

Feel free to contact me if you have any suggestions. I’d love to add a few more blogs to my regular reading list or at least give a shout-out for great posts or contests.
As always, thanks to all the bloggers that teach me something new every day. Thanks to all my commenters for making this blog the community I want it to be. Thanks to all my lurkers too.
I hope everybody is enjoying this as much as me!










Thanks for the mention this week. I appreciate it!
Wow I’m glad to hear that some traffic came from Studenomics
I’m curious with your reasoning for putting the income reports on your private mailing list. Sounds like a smart idea.
Thanks for the shout, and here’s to fixing our sites whenever possible!
I think we’d all sell out for $200K! Thanks for including me.
Thanks for the mention.
Thanks for the love Crystal!
Thanks for including my link!
You are all very welcome!
@Martin, I figured I would offend less people with my income reports if they were in my newsletter since that would have to be signed up for to receive. Plus, I want my newsletter subscribers to feel appreciated by receiving exclusive content.
I don’t know what my long-term newsletter plans will be, but I always want them to be enjoyable and special.
