Weekly Cache 2010, June 20 Cleaning Up
Weekly Thoughts:
There was a lot of cleanup work performed this week. We got our family room carpet replaced (our dog ripped a hole in it), started working on organizing my office, and worked all day Saturday fixing computers at work (long story…).
I had a lot of big plans this weekend, that had to be canceled! We were going to go boating with friends, swimming at the grandparents (we still might do this Sunday), and see a movie. Sometimes, life just flows that way…
My Favorite Reads of the Week:
FrugalDad: An open letter to my son – A very touching post that all fathers should reflect on this coming Father’s Day. Give yourselves a pat on the back! Expertly stated my Frugal Dad.
Little House In The Valley: Multiple Streams of Income – This is Little House’s personal multiple steams!!! Based on the post, I think she’s going a great job establishing some decent steams of income!
Wealth Pilgrim: Should you use a professional Trustee for your Trust? - Neal discusses why you shouldn’t use a professional Trustee and instead go with a family member and why!
Everyday tips and thoughts: Appreciate the small things in Life! - Kris makes a great frugal point! The list she enumerates is a very good one!
Budgeting in the fun stuff: My Fedex Experience - BFS’s interesting but frustrating story about her bad Fedex Experience, and the almost happy ending!
My Favorite Post from Money Reasons:
The Joneses Are Moving To A Larger House I was sad to see our very professional, wealthy neighbors upscale to a larger house and yard, but such is life. I wish them the best!
Closing Thoughts:
This has been a hectic but very productive past week! Hopefully next week will be less hectic but just as productive! I’ll be glad to get some more time to read “The Snowball”, which is a book about Warren Buffett!
Hope your week was great!

Thanks so much for the mention! I enjoyed those links too…I hadn’t seen Little House’s post. That’s motivating…my husband is a teacher too, but thankfully we get the option to spread out his salary over 12 months so it’s stable. That helps us out a lot.
You’re quite welcome!
Keep up the great work, you are really tearing up the Yazekie Challenge!
Little House had a great post, I was very impressed with her multiple income steam! It’s something that I don’t have that I need to develop!
Thanks for the mention Money Reasons and, Happy Fathers Day!
@Everyday Tips
Thanks and welcome to Yakezie! It’s a wonderful group and idea!
Thanks for including my post with such kind words! I’ll also have to check out your story about the “Joneses” moving to a larger house.
@Little House
The funny thing is I almost missed my neighbors moving to a larger house as similar to the Joneses moving on up to a larger house! You make the light bulb go off in my head on that story with the great article that you wrote about the origin of the Joneses! So thank you!!!
