Weekly Roundup: Inaugural Edition

The first week of Money Smart Marriage is in the books!  I hope you have enjoyed what you’ve seen so far.  I thought a good way to cap off the first week would be to link to some great articles I found across the web.  As the site picks up steam I’ll make this a weekend tradition.

I Saved Another $100 Per Month.  By now you know my feelings on the wasteland that is cable television.  Nice to see another family making the switch to life without TV!

12 Hot Tips to Save Water.  Fortunately, we are doing most of these, but I really liked the bonus tip for my leftover boiled egg water (we boil a lot of eggs). 

The Benefits of Raising Kids Cross-Culturally.  I don’t know that we will ever have the opportunity to raise kids in another culture, but that doesn’t mean we can’t learn more about them, and interact with diverse communities in our own country.

A Good Home Inspection is Worth the Money.  As Glbleguy’s moving day approaches he points out the benefits of getting a good home inspection.  When you think about it, $325 is relatively cheap for the peace of mind provided by a strong inspection.

Is a $5 Stock Cheaper than a $30 Stock?  It depends.  WC does a nice job here of pointing out that just because a stock’s price is cheaper doesn’t mean it is a great value.  You have to dig into the numbers a bit more before making that determination.
