Alright last weekend I did not do a link roundup but I definitely needed to do one today because of all of the high quality articles that I read on other personal finance blogs. I have been trying to post 5 times a week but it gets a bit hard sometimes, especially with midterms & assignments and working full time. Enough with the excuses and you should expect to see me around this week in a few guest posts and with many high quality posts on this site.
PT Money talks about 52 ways to earn extra money. If you still haven’t read this article then I don’t know where you have been because it’s one of the top articles written in a while. The ideas are very practical and there is no reason for you not to pick out at least a few of the methods for earning some more money.
Stephanie at Poorer Than You tells young people that they should know how much they owe. Some very excellent points touched upon here with the main theme being that students should always be aware of how much they exactly owe for their student loans.
Broke Grad Student tells us the easiest way to split a bill. Let’s be honest we have all found ourselves in a situation where issues arise while trying to figure out who pays what.
Passive Family Income talks about cheap family vacations. If you’re in the middle of a harsh winter or if you just want to have some memories with your family then this article is a must read.
The Digerati Life asks if we are earning more or spending less? An interesting debate that I’m sure many people are considering these days. The article shows both sides of the coin and hopefully after reading it you can see where you stand.
That is all for today but you should expect a full week of high quality posts!

Thanks for the link! I try and post 5 to 6 times per week when I can. I definitely know what you mean about having a hard time posting that many times. Good luck to you!
Thanks for including me! I am writing you up in my roundup at The Smarter Wallet!
The Digerati Life post was one of those fantastic philosophical questions that I love to share with co-workers. We had a lively talk over lunch about it last week.
Highly recommended to read!
Great round up; Stephanie’s post, in particular, hit home. I have no debt other than my student loans, and I’d probably have even less if I had started to pay it down while still in college. But, such is life.
The Digerati Life post was intriguing as well; I tend to view it as better to earn more than you spend. If you focus exclusively on cutting down your spending, the most you can possibly save is the total amount of your salary (actually, far less, as you’ll still have mortgage payments, food costs, car and other expenses, etc., all of which will decrease the available money you have available). If you find a way to earn more, though, there’s really no limit to how much you can possibly earn (besides time and willingness to put in the effort, of course). Plus, it’s possible to earn more without having to cut down on your spending, allowing you to have all your indulgences and still save money, too.
