Stuff Worth Reading, Because Summertime Is Finally Here

You read right, folks! Summertime is right around the corner, at least according to the calendar in my office which is telling me that today is—without a doubt—June 19, 2004. Ah, the ocean breeze, the taste of lemonade, the short skirts, the… wait, why is everyone else’s calendar turned to October 2007? Pfft, some people around here need to learn how to tell time.
Anyway, with the warming season finally upon us, it’s time for another weekly roundup of awesome stuff written by equally awesome personal finance writers. Here are a few excellent samples to help you keep cool as the temperatures climb… (Wait, 58°F for a high today? Dumb weatherman doesn’t know what he’s talking about.)
- A Penny Closer reminds you not to forget to pry every last reimbursable penny out of your employer. Common things employers reimburse: travel expenses, internet connection fees if you work from home a lot, and water balloon catapults used directly in the performance of your job.
- You might have missed the birth, the first steps, and the conception, but Advanced Personal Finance suggests that you not miss the most important event of your child’s upbringing: her first credit card application. (I’m surprised he tore up the application. That little girl could have had a credit rating of 800+ by the time she’s 11 and be eligible for a 60-year, no-interest mortgage by 16!)
- Cash Money Life points out the similarities between credit cards and guns. Example: they can both be used like cash at any convenience store.
- Wanna make a bundle off stocks? The Digerati Life offers some excellent, can’t-fail stock market indicators. Personally, I rely on a system of catching squirrels and examining the tenderness of their eyeballs to help me predict market swings.
- The Frugal Law Student gives us 13 cheap cold-fighting strategies. Now you don’t have to sit there and ooze mucus on your co-workers for seven days just because you’re poor!
Have a great weekend and a safe drive for everyone planning to hit the beach on this gorgeous sunny June-or-maybe-October weekend!

Very nice as usual. Very useful tips on proper hygiene without a budget. And maybe instead of squirrel eyeballs, you should check where they bury their nuts. If it’s on your lawn, it’ll cost you like it did us. Dang those squirrels!

Classic.
I didn’t mention the similarity of credit cards and guns to cash at convenience stores because I figured it was so obvious it didn’t need pointed out.
Unfortunately, we don’t have squirrles at our house anymore; the chipmunk mafia overtook their territory. That’s too bad though because even though chipmunks are more fun to watch, it takes too many of them for a decent stew.

Yeah, I blew it tearing that application up. People frown on kids having guns, but a credit card is marginally more acceptable.

I like exotic eyewear and I adore the crazy contact lenses available these days—contacts that can make you look like a cat or even a zombie—perfect for impressing your friends and family on Halloween! I visited http://colourcontacts.com/ and got blown away.

Since 2004, when the law was changed to require eye care professionals to release contact lens prescriptions to the patient, many options for buying contact lenses have become available. This has allowed for extra ease, convenience, and of course better pricing for the consumer with more opportunities to purchase discount contact lenses.Find out more about this topic on http://onlinecontacts.com.

Protective eyewear is an essential piece of equipment for high impact sports like basketball, hockey, football, and soccer. In these sports and many others, protective eyewear helps protect participants and players eyes from getting damaged from hard impact with other players or the ball or puck. Eyesight is very fragile and your eye can be permanently damaged very easily following hard impact during a sports event. For more information on this topic visit http://sportseyewear.com .
