Greetings friend. It’s been an incredible month! Your support has truly been a lifeline to this site. I appreciate you for sticking with me, tweeting, commenting, sending me emails, including me in your round ups, advising, encouraging, and for all of the many ways you have shown love. I value you so much! Thank you!!!
Uncommon Round Up
Here is my Ultimate Guide to Becoming a Doer. (Dumb Little Man) – I’m honored it resulted in me getting quoted in the New York Times.
The prolific and insightful Trent shares an interesting perspective about jobs and the entrepreneurial mindset. (The Simple Dollar)
While I don’t personally sign up for new cards (or directly allow their ads on here), I still get asked about their promotions. FMF compiled a centralized resource. (Free Money Finance)
Amanda included last week’s 10 Reasons to Seek Abundance in her round up along with some other articles of interest from the blogosphere. (Interest Co Nz)
Jeffrey offers 67 Free and Inexpensive Hobbies. Who said hobbies have to be expensive? (Savings Advice)
What’s your Travel Style? Resort Relaxer or Exploring Adventurer? I am unapologetically a resort relaxer. I so enjoy Young’s fun personality, which shows through with this post! (Young And Thrifty)
Hmmm, here’s one to ponder: Would You Buy An Engagement Ring At A Pawn Shop? This may not be acceptable for every household. (Sustainable Personal Finance)
How I Quit My Job, and What I Plan to Do Next. Congrats Kevin. I applaud you on beginning the next chapter of your life! (Invest It Wisely)
Do you read blogs by people who are in debt? I read blogs by people from many walks of life. If I happen to know someone’s background, that may provide added context for his or her advice. (The Money Principle)
I am a big advocate for budgeting. Average Joe says: Forget 5 Steps to Budget Success–How About One (this site is a new blogroll addition; thanks for all the support and laughs Joe!)
Have you ever had a bad interview? Here’s an interesting account: When an Interview Goes Bad (Fiscal Phoenix)
I feel very strongly about failures and how they affect us. I’ll be revisiting this topic later. For now, here’s an interesting article: When Failure is the Best Option (Careful Cents).
The recent investing trends are quite interesting. The Novel Investor discusses: An Under-Invested America: Is Conservative The New Norm?
While I won’t be writing about goal-setting again for some time, here’s another take on “stretch goals.” The Power of Setting Modest Goals (Thad Thoughts)
Diversification is pretty common knowledge, yet how often do we do it? The Risk of Investing in Your Company Stock (Stock Trend Investing)

Well done on the 'doer' article, Roshawn and thanks for including me. Great company on all counts.
Thanks Maria, and you are very welcome. I love provocative topics like that!
I'm already a big fan of many of these same posts. Great reads, all around. They share more than a passing resemblance to articles here: transformative, thoughtful pieces. So, you know what that means….now I have to go and read the rest.
I'm not sure how my piece made the list (maybe because it was the one time I wasn't blogging about doughnuts and NASCAR…..), but I'll take it! AND the blogroll, too! Thanks!
You have figured it out, at least my preference for post selection. There are always exceptions, but I generally like pieces that are not always intuitive yet provide meaning. You have some great content over there, which is why I am a reader 🙂
Oh, this is a great list of articles (and not just because mine is included lol). Buying an engagement ring at a pawn shop is an interesting idea. Being a woman myself, I probably wouldn't mind it. As long as it's clean and sparkly, I don't care. 🙂 Thanks for reading and including my post.
That actually was an interesting one. Although my wife would want to be cool with this, I just don't know that she would. It would certainly have to be a special pawn shop, extra special ring, or I would have to present it at least in an extra special light. Perhaps, it is just me and not here. IDK, and I will never really know. I just think it would be a tough sell, even if someone isn't materialistic. You are welcome. It was a good post!
A great list! Thanks for including me in your roundup.
You are welcome JP! Thanks for commenting!!!
Wow, the new site looks different… and very awesome! Thank you for the IIW mention. 🙂
Yes Kevin, I finally migrated to WP and am using a much better theme 🙂 Thanks for noticing. You are welcome for the link, and thanks for tweeting my doer guide!!!
Thanks for the mention! 🙂 Love the new look!
You are so welcome Young. Thanks for stopping by to comment!!!
Damn, this is a killer list.
