Sunday Money Roundup - My So Called Life Edition.

Posted by david | April 27, 2008

If you are reading this on Sunday, we are actually in New Mexico yet again, hopefully finalizing our lease and looking at schools for my wife to work at in the fall. And yes, it is getting tiring going back and forth, but moving is a big deal and we want to make sure we have exactly what we want before packing up and getting out of Southern California. Hopefully when I get back later this week everything will be in place and I can write more about it! In the meantime, here are some articles that caught my eye last week before I left on Saturday, and be sure to check out some of the guest articles I have scheduled for this week!

From The M-Network:

Gather Little By Little talks about dealing with temptation and the new BMW 1-series. We just bought one and we love it. Kidding.
I’ve Paid For This Twice Already… goes for a CT scan and confronts her own mortality. See, the dye they use can cause severe reactions in some people, so the quick-thinking PaidTwice wrote out a quick will. When I had mine done recently, I just said “go for it”… but then I wondered where the will was…
