Funny appeared in four carnivals and round-ups this week:

Since the Yakezieites are showering me with links, this might be a good time to reciprocate. Cruising that network’s many sites, I came across these that might interest you:

Barbara Friedberg has mounted a three-part series that is exactly apposite to our theme: money and stress relief. She’s figured out that frugality and control of those nagging money issues can bring a great deal of calm into one’s life. Check these out: Part 1, Part 2, Part 3

Financial Samurai posted a really good talking point with Why Are Employed People So Smug about the Unemployed? Don’t miss the conversation this article evoked among commenters.

Money Beagle comes up with Three Ways to Control Impulse Spending. Huge. I’ll have to print this out and carry it with me into Costco, my favorite purveyor of impulse spending junk.

Here’s a nice money story at Bucksome Boomer, something to think about: Afraid to Retire.

Over at The Millionaire Nurse, Dr. Dean put up funny/scary rumination on Making Money from Nothing.

Len Penzo is in a gently humorous mood today, with 18 Things You (Supposedly) Should Never Pay For. Ever.

And (LOL!) I’m in a gently have-to-clean-house-now mood, and so it’s off and running. Enjoy!
