One Caveman’s Financial Journey

On Wednesday, my tax rebate finally arrived and is now smiling back at me from my ING savings account. I know the government would like for us to spend it right away, but they’re not the ones who have to provide for my family! Now I’m debating on whether to put it into a CD for a while since ING’s CD rates are currently at 3.3% for 6, 9, and 12 months. We’ll see what the cavewife has to say about that.

It’s Friday, so that means it’s time to take a look around the web at what everyone else has to say (in no particular order):

• Mrs. Micah - You Made Yourself Into Who You Are
• DIY Life - Start your own worm composting bin
• Gather Little by Little - Surviving a recession - what you need to do now
• No Credit Needed - The Financial Realities Of Having A New Baby
• Get Rich Slowly - A Rather Obvious Metaphor for Personal Finance Couched in a True Story About Physical Fitness
• Blueprint for Financial Prosperity - Consider Bed & Breakfasts Instead of Hotels
• Frugal Dad - The Soggy Hotdog: A Personal Finance Wakeup Call
• Moolanomy - Frugal Or Cheap? Here’s A Test
• Wise Bread - Ten Tortilla Tips for Mealtime Madness

On a related note, I’m finding I have less time to browse the web and find great stories of the week. If you have published a great post that deserves some love, drop me an email and tell me about it - just don’t bother me with spam. Of course, I reserve the right to not include it, but I will give all worthy articles a chance!
