Weekend LinkLove: Saturday, February 20, 2010

Another weekend is here again, and we had the fortunate opportunity to spend a few days away during the past week!  We headed up to frozen Elk Lake (near Traverse City, Michigan) and spent the week cross-country skiing, drinking tons of coffee, eating much cake, and watching every possible minute of the Winter Olympics   It’s good to be home, though, and we’re excited to bring you our favorite articles from this week in personal finance (and maybe some other stuff, too).  Enjoy!

** Craig at Money Help for Christians includes selected posts from Earn Give Save with Christian Personal Finance Blogs | January Highlights.  Thanks for including us, Craig! **

Amanda at My Dollar Plan shares 9 Tips to Stretch the Life of Common Household Items.  The laptop battery point is particularly important, as they are usually crazy expensive to replace.

Jim over on Bargaineering provides a TurboTax Tax Year 2009 Review.  We find this one pertinent because we’ll be knocking out the ‘ol income taxes this very weekend.  Looks like TurboTax continues to be a reliable product.

Jason at One Money Design asks, Income Tax Refund: Is It Good or Bad?.  Jason is responding here to another post over at Christian PF.  This is a perennial conversation, to be sure.  We’ll add our two cents in a post coming up this week!

Five Cent Nickel provides the encouragement to Re-Evaluate Your Recurring Expenses.  Sounds like a solid monthly plan to us — we find ourselves doing this each month just by virtue of having a meeting about it.

Redeeming Riches shares some good thoughts on Overcoming Anxiety – How Worry Reveals What We Worship.  Always a good reminder about what really matters.

Linda at Christian PF brings us her first review of taking the Dave Ramsey Financial Peace University class.  We’re excited to read the week-by-week review of the class, as we’ve thought about taking it at some point.
