Spring has sprung … at least that’s what the weeds in my yard are saying! When will some geneticist cross breed the aggressive and tenacious characteristics of a weed with the nutrition of vegetables? World hunger would be solved in just a few weeks. Dandelions can grow in the cracks of a sidewalk for Pete’s sake …
Yep, it’s time to tune up the lawnmower. While I’m cutting my acre of weeds, check out some of these posts:
The Wisdom Journal was featured as a guest blogger on MSN Smart Spending blog with 10 Ways To Blow Your Severance Package.
Did you know that if you bought a home at the height of the market in 1979, today it’s worth the same amount of money (inflation adjusted)? The scary thing is that we’ve been told for decades that homes only go up in value. Yeah, right. Welcome to reality.

JD at Get Rich Slowly has assembled his Financial Literacy Compendium. This is a vast library of his previous posts on everything related to personal finance. Bookmark this one. You’ll want to be able to refer back to it over and over.
Erica knows the real reasons you don’t save for retirement. It all boils down to visualization.

Glblguy at Gather Little By Little appears to love Star Wars as much as I do! His post, Do or Do Not – There is No ‘Try’ is a great read, and it’s even better if you take it to heart. Quit trying. Start doing.
I hope you enjoy the links! Check them out while I change the oil in my lawnmower and get the blades sharpened.
