It’s almost here: October 15th, that is. If you’ve filed an extension to complete your tax forms, you have 11 days to go. I wouldn’t wait around if I were you. Gather up your information, and do your taxes for FREE with TurboTax Federal Free Edition. [2]

Here are this week’s great articles and posts from the Life Skills Network:

Why cash offers more flexibility than gift cards [3] @ Frugal Dad. I agree. We recently tried to purchase some items using a gift card and the cashier “couldn’t get it to work.” I had checked the balance by telephone and knew it had $15 remaining but the cashier insisted that it was worthless. Only when a supervisor came along did I get credit for that $15. Cash IS king!

4 secrets of the successfully self employed [4] @ Marc and Angel Hack Life. Marc made a very important point, no matter who your employer is, no matter who signs your paycheck, you work for YOURSELF and you have only two products: time and knowledge. Great post.

What is your weakness? [5] @ My Dollar Plan. Madison reveals her weakness: College Football and all the trappings such as season tickets, tailgating, food in the stadium, eating out along the way to the game, etc. Madison, I share your weakness! The question she asks readers is “how much does your weakness cost YOU?”

Long term thinking is your greatest tool for success [6] @ My Supercharged Life. Success is an attitude, and according to Jeff, that attitude should have a long term vision. Long term thinkers give up those things that instantly gratify so they can enjoy a much deeper satisfaction later.

Baby steps toward a saner life @ On Simplicity. Who couldn’t use more sanity in their life. Sara outlines some really simple ideas to un-complicate, un-clutter, and un-crazy your life. Give them a try.

Enjoy a simple Christmas with a well planned budget [7] @ Simple Mom. We’ve budgeted for Christmas for about 12 years now and it has been a lifesaver. But this post is about more than just budgeting. Simple Mom encourages readers to find ways to make extra money [8] over the holidays as well as map out what they plan to spend before hitting the stores. Great advice!

From the rest of the web:
