I had articles in three different carnivals this week. Here they are:
- Carnival of Personal Finance – Estate Planning: Which Estate Documents Do You Need?
- Festival of Frugality – Neuroeconomics: Helping Explain Why We Make Stupid Money Mistakes
- Money Hacks Carnival – How Much Life Insurance Do You Need?
Trent at The Simple Dollar recently had a post about making extra trips to save a little money. He found that if you know exactly what you’re looking for, a quick stop at a second grocery store (or gas station) can be worth the time. Considering your hourly rate when doing money-saving activities is a great way to motivate yourself to be more frugal and become a better steward of what you have. It also helps you separate the time-wasters from the real money-savers. Have a great weekend!
