Sunday Money Roundup - Signing The New Lease Edition.

Well, it’s done - we are officially moving to Taos, NM on July 1st. After going back and forth several times, we finalized our lease on a 150 year old adobe house right in the center of town. Although eventually we want to move out to the rural area around Taos, for a while at least I can still walk everywhere I need to go, so we won’t need to buy another car anytime soon. Glad that is over with and we can concentrate on getting ready for the move. I imagine I will be writing about it in the coming months, and I will put some pictures up this week. And now that I am back in town, here are some articles I caught up on today:

From The M-Network:

• Mrs. Micah presents “For Homeschoolers: 4 Tips for Saving Money on Textbooks“
• Plonkee Money talks about starting and learning new things as an adult. A good read and something to keep in mind - just because we are getting older doesn’t mean we shouldn’t try new things.
• Moolanomy has some Practical Investing Guide For Beginners.
• Single Guy Money has some reasons for why you should be joining a credit union. I am a believer in credit unions, even though I only have 1 account with them. I should move everything over.
• The Dough Roller talks about the proposed “gas tax holiday” for the summer - “But the best one-liner goes to Senator Obama, who said “let me tell you, this isn’t an idea designed to get you through the summer, it’s designed to get them through an election.” I couldn’t agree more.
• Being Frugal talks about Urban Homesteading. I love this kind of stuff, and cannot wait to start homesteading in New Mexico!
• Cash Money Life talks about saving money with refurbished electronics.
• Gather Little By Little asks “What is a recession in the United States?“.
• I’ve Paid For This Twice Already… has some tips on cutting wedding expenses. If you are looking for even more, I wrote about my thoughts on wedding expenses and some $.99 cent wedding favors.

And From My RSS Reader:

• My Dollar Plan wants you to be prepared for retirement - in two weeks!
• Money Ning is headed out on a frugal honeymoon.
• No Credit Needed has another step in his Debt Reduction Series - Planning For The Future
• The Digerati Life has some tips on coming up with that first down payment on a house.
• Sun’s Financial Diary has a great tip for Bank of America account holders - free museum admissions!
• Finally, Get Rich Slowly talks about Making the Move from Spender to Saver. Everyone should read this article, even if you consider yourself a saver already. It’s always good to remind yourself!
