The weekends just seem to get busier and busier. I remember those carefree days when I started “What I’m Reading” while C was in school on Saturdays. Now, I feel like I have maybe 20 minutes on my computer during the day.

So here we go for another whirlwind look at what I’ve been reading.

Kids are on my mind. Deal with it. So I’ve loved Average Joe’s series on summer activities to create money savvy kids. This week’s dealt with the hardest to interest group- high schoolers. If you’re looking for ways to teach your high school kids about money, you should check it out.

At Odd Cents, we get another installation of her Living La Vida Frugal series, which is where she looks back at things she’s done to cut spending. This time, she’s talking about lunch.

Making Sense of Cents wants you to ask yourself- Is a House Right for You? It’s a good question. Homeownership is not for everyone. Make sure you know why you want what you want first.

Andrea reads my mind, sometimes. We just had to increase our Comcast bill (we have to have a home phone for the adoption process). It kills me. So what do I find over at So Over Debt yesterday? An Unsent Letter- The Comcast Sucks Edition. Thank you, Andrea.

Smart Family Finance has been on a bit of a hiatus. So I was thrilled to see them back this week. Of course, instead of talking about problems I do have (homeownership, Comcast), they’re talking about problems I wish I had right now- like How to Choose Overseas Health Care Insurance. I don’t know where they’re going, but I want to go, too.

Today, in introducing our new Yakezie challenger, I’m also highlighting the Yakezie Writing Conest, a scholarship contest hosted by Yakezie. (Click on the link and you’ll go to the home page and be able to read all the finalists in the contest). One of those who entered was Multi-Millionaire Road. I can’t help but be amused by his post Personal Finance: Back to Basics- Tired of Seeing the Same Personal Finance Blogs?
