I am back after some eventful days. 
Some highlights of the last couple of days include: attending a graduation, test driving a 2007 Honda Civic, finalizing a new Civic deal for my brother, eating a lot of unhealthy food, and spending a ton of money. There are some interesting numbers that go with all these highlights…hopefully there will be a post tomorrow about it.
..And now, here is the 3rd Sunday review for all of you:
| Retirement Calculator Evaluation | Super Saver’s thoughts on retirement calculators. This is on lines of my previous post on Fidelity myPlan calculator and reaffirms the message: don’t trust the calculators blindly. |
| Wiser than a Scammer | Dawn of Frugal for Life mentions a couple “work-at-home-and-earn-a-ton-of-money” schemes. Ah..the lure of earning money by doing nothing; we keep falling for it again and again and again…. |
| HOWTO: Stop Buying Crap | This is one of the best posts I have seen on personal finance blogs till now. Caps of StopBuyingCrap.com essentially summarizes the whole rationale behind his blog - Stop Buying Crap and how exactly to do it; I don’t know why, but I feel like stealing the title of his blog many times. |
| Occasionally good eBay sellers go bad | Mighty Bargain Hunter reminds us of the pitfalls of using eBay for buying/selling stuff. Of course, bad stuff doesn’t happen always, but it helps to be aware of might-go-wrong stuff before shopping on eBay. |
| Trading Gift Cards: My Chat with Golbguru | Wait a minute…did I see “Golbguru” somewhere in the title :). The Frugal Duchess aka Sharon Harvey of the Miami Herald posts some comments from me about trading gift cards! Thanks to Sharon, a mention of the original article also made it to the print version of the newspaper. |
| Suze Orman doesn’t think anyone can afford anything | Kira of Penny Foolish makes an interesting comment on the the Suze Orman show. On this post, Dimes of Dimes to Dollar posted a comment that says “I want to write in to her and ask if I can afford to have a baby….”. It will be interesting to see what Orman will say about that |
| Couples Fighting Over Money | LAmoneyguy reponds to an SOS from a reader who says (among other things) “….PLEASE HELP! I know that many marriages end because of money issues, and I don’t want that to be us…” |

Thanks for the link!
GolbGuru,
I can see travel isn’t slowing down your posting too much:-) Thanks for including My Wealth Builder in the Sunday Review. Also, congratulations on the mention in the Miami Herald.
mbhunter: you are welcome.
Super Saver: blogging is addictive man…just can’t be at peace unless I put in at least a few words every now and then.
After further watching, I’m sure Suze would totally approve a baby. It goes with her mantra of “People first, then money, then things.” She heartily supports spending money to further relationships, and since we’re better off than a lot of people having babies, she’d almost certainly say “You go, girlfriend!”
