Happy Birthday to my sister Maura!

I haven’t been reading any of your lovely personal blogs lately.  To be honest, if you aren’t writing something about personal finance you will have a hard time catching my attention.

Why?  I don’t know myself.  It’s not like I have any debt to consolidate, or credit card balances to snowball a la Dave Ramsey.  Nor do I have money to invest–although, I did recently open a savings account for the first time since high school.  And yes, I did it because I have been consuming personal finance blogs like crack.  CRACK!  (Say crack again.  CRACK!)

I get excited to bring dinner leftovers to work for lunch and think about how much money I am saving.  Am I crazy?  Yes, possibly.  All I know is this is a lot healthier than that period of time where I was obsessed with celebrity gossip blogs.

Here are my favorites:

• I Will Teach You To Be Rich
• Get Rich Slowly
• Stop Buying Crap
• The Simple Dollar
