I’ve been traveling this week across Mississippi and Alabama and believe me, summer has arrived. I didn’t leave until Tuesday but the day before, I neglected to close my car windows for the first 30 minutes of a torrential rainstorm. With a damp seat and incredible heat (105+), opening my car door in the morning means an instant steam bath! Whew.
Spotlight Blog Of The Week
This week’s spotlight blog is Frugal and Thriving, written by Melissa from “he beautiful Sunshine Coast in Queensland, Australia.” She wrote a great post this week on Why Being A Cheapskate Can Cost You More. Great post about the difference between having a frugal mindset and just being cheap.
The Fab Five
Why I Expect Serious Stagflation @ Mises. The author predicts that we are in store for a miserable decade of economic stagnation. Given all of the huge assaults of the federal government into the private sector in just the past six months, I frankly don’t understand how anyone except true believers in Karl Marx can be seeing “green shoots.”

It has been hot hasn’t it? Summer is certainly upon us, but with it comes some good things like Father’s Day, 4th of July, family vacations and days at the pool. I’d much rather have the heat than the cold. Great links this week! Thanks for including me.

We’ve had a nice cool summer so far this year, but we’re expecting a heat wave into the 90’s, with high humidity. At least we made it this far before they turned on the heat!
