Personal Finance: The Week in Review # 4
By Jimmy on Jun 28, 2008 in In Other Blogs...
“Personal Finance: The Week in Review” is a weekly series of posts highlighting my favorite personal finance articles from around the blogosphere.
It’s hard to believe that the 4th of July is right around the corner - this year is already half-way over! Wasn’t it New Year’s Eve just a few weeks ago? It is absolutely amazing how fast time flies sometimes.
I’m actually leaving for vacation to Virginia Beach (my hometown) on Wednesday, July 2 for five days of seafood dinners, swimming, and suntans. Don’t fret though, I already have posts scheduled to publish while I’m away and I’ll be checking in periodically to respond to all comments. (Not-so-subtle hint - I really appreciate comments from you all 
)
I should also mention that I would absolutely LOVE to get your feedback on MoneyRemix if you have a few minutes to spare. If there’s a particular topic you’d be interested in reading about, let me know and I’ll add it to the queue.
Oh, and don’t forget, If you haven’t already subscribed, you can receive instant notification of new posts from MoneyRemix by subscribing to the feed or by subscribing through email.
With that said, please enjoy this week’s “Personal Finance: The Week in Review”!
