What’s Sizzling? – April 24th Edition

My wife and I spent the week beginning preparations for another wedding in our family. I’m happy to announce my sister-in-law got engaged a few weeks ago! At Fiscal Fizzle, my Personal Finance Basics series continued this week with Part II of setting up a budget. I also discussed reasons you may want to try cash as a means of controlling your spending, and how to optimize the time you spend planning and overseeing your family finances. Each week, I publish my favorite posts from other personal finance (and other) blogs:

James at Fine-Tuned Finances gives us ten financial moves for surviving the recession.
David at Money Under 30 shows us how to stop worrying about your money. Quickly becoming one of my favorite blogs to read!
Kate at the Paycheck Chronicles covers ways to create a financial back-up plan. This is great for those of us with little time on our hands, or those forgetful of their bills.
If you’ve been recently laid off and are looking for work from home ideas, look no further than Momma’s Blog list, which details 24 of them.
Jason at Automatic Finances discusses why every account you have should have a name.
At Shrinkage is Good, you can read about the world’s most significant tax havens.
