I think I gained 10 pounds since my last weekend round-up. If I see another slice of pumpkin pie or leftover double-stuffed potato I may go into cardiac arrest on the spot.

A Blast From The Past:

My post What My Dad Taught Me About Money is from way back in September 2007. Some good ol’ fashioned personal finance advice to kick off the new year from someone who has done it “the right way” his entire life.

Happy reading and have a great weekend y’all!
