I thought these artcles were useful and interesting!
For parents who are trying to save some money, here are some tips on 5 Products to Avoid Buying Used. Better to be safe when buying things like cribs, carseats, bicyle helments, etc to make sure they are up-to-date to all the safety regulations!
What about that used car you're driving that constantly breaks down; should you Fix It or Trash It? A rule of thumb is that if the repair costs less than 25% of the value of the vehicle, it gets decent gas mileage, and is otherwise sound, go ahead and repair the vehicle instead of replacing it. There are also good tips on appliances, clothes, and other things that go into disrepair frequently.
And finally, since J is looking at buying a house in the near future that will need some renovations, I thought this article was particularly interesting: Will this home renovation pay off? This will help you decide where to best invest your cash into your home, with resale value in mind.
Also I would just like to point out that this weekend was tax-free shopping in Tennessee, and I didn't buy a single thing! Yay, me!
