Sunday Money Roundup – Back To New Mexico Edition.

In about a week, my wife and I are going back to New Mexico yet again to hopefully finalize the details on the house we want to rent. We are going to look at a few more while we are there, but we really like this one house we have been talking to the owner of. Our move should take place in June once she is done with the school year, but we are getting nervous – it’s hard to leave somewhere you have been for so long and leave behind our friends. However, we know it is what we want to do to change our lifestyle so it has to be done. While I contemplate moving 900 miles from the ocean, check out some articles that caught my eye this past week:

Articles From The M-Network:

• Being Frugal has the most amazing list of frugal ideas I have ever seen!
• Cash Money Life has tips on how to do a phone interview with a potential employer. Some valuable stuff there.
• Gather Little By Little wants your opinion on whether you should discuss money with your kids. I think you should…what do you think?
• I’ve Paid For This Twice Already… turns 67 the year social security is set to run out – in 2041. I personally think they will fix the system by then, but you never know. By the way, I will be 69 in 2041 so maybe I will get two years in!
