Sunday Money Roundup – It’s Packing Time Again Edition.

For reasons that I will write about in an upcoming post, I am packing up to move…again. This will be the 3rd move in the last 1.5 years and I am not looking forward to it. I will, of course, hire some guys to do the heavy lifting for me, but I despise the whole act of packing up all your belongings and then unpacking them a few days later. More on this to come, but for now let’s move on to the roundup…

BudgetPulse has a post that is right up my alley – Budgeting on a Freelancer’s Salary.

Time For Another Free Gift Card From MyPoints.

For those of you who don’t remember, back in November of last year I redeemed over 14,000 points from my MyPoints account for a $100 gift card to Amazon.com. Those points were just some of my balance that I had acquired over time for reading emails sent to me from MyPoints. Well, the emails are still coming and so are the points! I have almost 10,000 points in my account, and I plan on redeeming 7,500 of them for a $50.00 Amazon.com gift card.
