Personal Finance Round Up
The following are some of my favorite posts from around the personal finance blogosphere this week. Make sure to check them out if you’re looking for some great reading material.
Student Debt Survivor’s Dog Has More Coats Than They Do! Other than a Thundershirt we bought to calm our dog Daphne down a bit, I refuse to let my girlfriend buy clothes for our dog.
LeslieBeslie writes about Using a Dumb Phone in a Smart Phone World. When I had a dumb phone I didn’t even have texting so I wasn’t aware of all of the features. Granted I probably wouldn’t have used most of them. I mostly use my smart phone for keeping up with my blog!
Budget and the Beach writes about Food Wastin’ Hair Dilemmas. No, they aren’t connected but they are both problems I’ve had from time to time. Although my haircuts aren’t anywhere near that much by a LONG shot!
iHeartBudgets writes about Churning Credit Cards for Travel and Hotel Rewards. While I almost made $1,000 from credit card rewards in 2012, I need to consider this strategy for 2013… maybe I’ll do it… maybe I won’t!
Plunged in Debt writes The Value of A Dollar Through Life’s Stages. This is an interesting view on how our perception of a dollar changes throughout life… something I never gave much thought to!

Thanks so much for the mention. I don’t like or watch football, but I usually end up watching at least some of the super bowl. I always end up cheering for the underdog.

No problem. Make sure to cheer for the 49ers this year! I hope they aren’t underdogs though!
Thanks so much for including me, I really appreciate it! I’m sure my hubby will be watching the game so I inadvertently will too though I’m really only interested in the cool commercials

Make sure to root for the 49ers!
Many thanks for including me. Does the thunder shirt work? Our pup is terrified of thunder and chews our front door to “get away” from the thunder when it rains. We’ll watch the superbowl (bf because he cares, me because I like to make nachos and knit during the games).
KK @ Student Debt Survivor recently posted..My Dog Has More Coats Than I Do
Our dog isn’t so much scared of thunder. She just gets really excited when people come around. It does seem to calm her down quite a bit so I imagine it’d work with anxiety as well. Our puppy trainer at the local PetSmart had a HUGE dog and it did wonders for him as well. Of course, it depends on the individual dog.
Big 49er fans here… I felt your passion this week during my visit in San Fran!
