It’s hard to believe that another week is in the books. With February being a shorter month it’s almost scary to think that we’ll be midway through the month come next week. This week has been full of giveaways, so if you’ve not taken advantage yet there is a total of $1,600 available for the taking. That is some serious dough! Unfortunately I can’t enter to win any of them but it’s always exciting to see who wins. If you were to win $1,600, what would you do with the winnings? I know that I should be a good PF blogger and say that I would do something wise like paying down debt or investing it, but I have to admit that it would most likely be spent on a vacation. We took a small family vacation last summer, but the hecticness in the Frugal Rules household has left me a little stir crazy for some sort of vacation.
It’s been another great week for Frugal Rules in the blogosphere. Thanks to everyone who gave me a shout out or included me in their Carnivals this week. I would encourage you to check out some of the blogs who mentioned me as they have some great quality and offer insight into various topics related to Personal Finance. If you’re looking for something else to read, I encourage you to pop on over to Jordann’s blog, My Alternate Life and check out my guest post, 3 Things You Need to Know if You Know Nothing About Investing. Have a great rest of the weekend everyone!
