Weekly Blog Roundup

This is a series where I link to my favorite blog posts from the financial blogs that I follow and read directly. These are the articles I found particularly useful or good in some way. I hope you enjoy my choices and learn something too!

Week of 5/17/2010:

• Why you need a budget @ Bargaineering. Jim gets back to basics as he writes about why we all NEED a budget. Good read for those getting started in the journey to financial freedom.
  
• Reader Story: The $20 Challenge @ Get Rich Slowly. JD Posted a reader story which I found interesting and fun. I wrote about this on Friday and plan to do it myself!
  
• Five Simple Substitutions, One Big Change @ The Simple Dollar. Trent gives 5 easy things we can do to slash our budgets. I have done a couple of these myself!
  

These are my favorites for the last week. Feel free to comment and share some others that I may have missed or not even know about. Have a great week!
