I recently read a very interesting post called Why I might bounce so quickly from your site and I left a comment. The writer, Jude, then left a response to my question in the form of the following post: How I Save Money Blog Review .

Now while I was not necessarily looking for a link back, I appreciated the effort this person took to actually look at my blog and give honest feelings about what he liked or did not like about my blog. I ended up reading more of this blog…and subscribing to the feed so I can get more of Jude’s insights in the future.

I was going through the How I Save Money blogroll to see which of my favorite blogs had a post that really touched me last week. Well Baz touched my funny bone with Fed Up With Fed Ex - No Signature Required . This post details his problems with ordering things off the internet and having Fed Ex just leave his packages lying on the steps of his apartment.

Now I know I laughed a lot at his retelling of the events but this is really a serious issue as someone could steal his packages since they are just left lying on the ground each time.

The Carnival of Wealth, Money and Life will be going up on Monday, May 5th at Dollar Frugal so you still have a little bit of time to submit your entry.

The topic for the month is Emergency Funds but you can submit anything that is related to Wealth, Money and Life and still have a chance at being in this new and exciting carnival.

I got tagged by Dollar Frugal for this six word memoir. I am not good at poetry so here is my stab at it:

Saving cents to save my sense .

Here are the rules:

1. Write your own six word memoir
2. Post it on your blog and include a visual illustration if you want
3. Link to the person who tagged you in your post
4. Tag at least 5 more blogs
5. Leave a comment on the tagged blogs with an invitation to play

And I am passing the torch on to:
Baz
Jagular
Shauna
Boston Gal

These are some of the posts that I enjoyed recently so check them out:

How to use your Credit Card to Make Money Every Month by Dividend Money. I always use my Chase credit card to get cash back and pay it off in full every month so this was a hit for me.

Merchant Categories on Chase Freedom Statement at Pro Bargain Hunter. I just mentioned the Chase card rewards, but I have this problem as well. Chase shows some merchants as ‘other’ and this does not rack up cash back for me. Bummer.
