Hi everyone – here are some articles/Web sites I recommend checking out this week:

1. David Bach’s “Five Tips for a Great Life After Graduation”
Read it here.

2. Kiplinger’s “Save or Pay Down Debt?”
Read it here.

3. Digs Magazine

Billed as a home + living guide for the post-college, pre-parenthood, quasi-adult generation. Seems very useful.

4. “17 Ways to Lower Your Electric Bill”, courtesy of womansday.com
Read it here.

And don’t forget to read my post on Cool Savings.

    Woah, thanks so much for the Digs link! It is going to be incredibly helpful when I move to my new apartment this fall. I am definitely using their tips on making a futon cover and duvet! And I am totally using their recipes. Good find!

    Hey Budgeting Babe,
    I was wondering if you have any advice for cohabitating partners? My boyfriend and I moved in together about 3 months ago and we are still trying to figure out how to work our “budget.” I was wondering what your experience is?

    Damn it! I knew something was missing. Now I just have to go back and figure out what the heck it was!

    OK! Found #2. It was from Kiplinger’s. Where it went though, I’ll never know!

    Ok, Article #2… Kiplinger’s (which I read faithfully each month along with Money, Business 2.0, Forbes and a couple of others) had it exactly right on what to save and what to pay off first.

    It isn’t really a simple answer but really now- why would anyone suggest putting money in savings over paying off 25% credit cards?

    Now, at the same time I AM for building up some cash in your checking account until you have several thousand (or a few months)set aside.

    My goal is to see everyone out of the credit card habit and if you are constantly having to “re-up” the card in “emergencies” (read-things you knew would happen but didn’t plan for) then you’ll never get out of credit card debt.

    Those credit card things are a habit that must be shunned.

    Just reading your blog for the first time and I already like it.

    I just started a blog (http://fromred2black.blogspot.com) – I have decided to be really SERIOUS about sorting out my finances and will be visiting helpful sites, like yours, for motivation!

    I’ll be back :-)
