Saturday Roundup: baby edition
I mentioned in last week's Saturday Roundup that I hoped to be snuggling a new baby while you were reading that edition. It happened; our newest little girl arrived on Friday, June 27th. She is now a week old; you can see more pictures here and here and...well, just about anywhere on our blog right now...we're just a wee bit smitten.
You could say that we had her the frugal way: at home with a midwife. Our non-traditional insurance policy covers homebirths with absolutely no deductible! It's only fair to tell you that this hasn't always been the case; some of our homebirths have cost us far more out of pocket than a hospital birth would have. It's not the sort of decision that you make based on dollar signs, but it sure is nice when the dollar signs wind up on the winning side of the deal.
But on to business: we have just one hack submitted by a reader this week:
- Amanda wrote to say that MainStreet.com just wrote a piece on mistakes one must avoid in his or her 401(k) in order to maximize its benefits. She thought Frugal Hacks readers might enjoy it.
And here is the ultimate roundup of links: Lifehack.org posted 80 How-To Sites Worth Bookmarking. Eight separate categories each feature 10 best-of-the-best links. Frugal Hacks is at the top of the Hack Your Wallet And What's In It, with company fine enough to make anyone self-concious about their manners. Check the whole list, add a few new treasures to your feed reader, and bookmark the post because you know you'll be looking for it again later.
There's one good roundup of links for you. Where are the others? Add your post to Mr. Linky and share the joy of saving.
