Here are the fantastic reads I discovered this week. Check these out!
JD covers Chrissy Thomson, the Coupon Queen in his post called Extremely Personal Finance. Do yourself a HUGE favor and read the comments. There are incredible links to coupons in the comments section. Just…WOW!
Patrick examines the link between frugality and conservationism. He and I think a lot alike, when he says that the similarities are increasing productivity without increasing consumption and maximizing our resources.
Jeff at My Supercharged Life gives us 7 great habits of followers. Leaders have to have someone to lead and followers sometimes more accurately define a leader than anyone wants to admit.
David at The Good Human talks about going back to the corded phone to same energy (and money). I’d be willing to go back just so I could find the phone. 
Jonathan from Awake at the Wheel wrote about what 95% of the most successful blogs do that keeps them so successful. I believe you can apply this idea to more than just blogs!
For all my against credit cards, there are some people who are extremely successful at playing the credit card game and winning! Congratulations to Madison at My Dollar Plan!
SVB at The Digerati Life has some common sense ways to increase your salary without increasing your work. Funny how “common sense” really isn’t all that common…
Pinyo at Moolanomy has a guest post that helps us get out minds around the difference between a budget mentality and a net work mentality.
At Quest for Four Pillars, Mr. Cheap examines labour vs investment income. Which is better – a $1,000 / month or a 1% monthly increase on your investments? Interesting.
Looking for an “allowance system” for the kids? Check out Nickel’s new and improved allowance system.
With the run up in metals prices, pennies and nickels are worth more melted down than as coins! Tell Jim at Blueprint for Financial Prosperity what we should do, retire those coins or keep ‘em for old times sake.
Single Guy Money looks at 6 gas saving myths. With all the talk about saving money on gas, it’s good to separate fact from fiction.
Phil Town gives instructions for setting up YOUR OWN Berkshire Hathaway. Wish I had done this about 40 years ago, but I would have only been 2 years old…
The simple mom talks about her plan to save for her children’s college. She has a great grasp of the whole concept!
Have a great weekend and enjoy some simple pleasures!

I thought the Millionaire Next Door had a very good way of putting things in perspective – anyone can do it if they start early enough and work at it.
Thanks for the mention.
I think the Millionaire Next Door is an excellent book! It is interesting how most millionaires don’t look or act anything like we think.
As always, I greatly appreciate the link!
The phone is a little hard to find in your house, huh Ron?
Thanks for the mention…
