Hi all. Normally you would be expecting to see the next edition of the Monster Piggy Bank Pool room post here on a Friday, but I have decided to do something different.
Why?
Because I don’t feel like the articles that I meticulously select each week are given the appropriate air time.
I am rectifying this injustice by putting all the top weekly personal finance links onto a single page here (Top Personal Finance Articles – 2013 Edition) Note: You can also access this page from the menu at the top under PF Articles. The benefit of doing things this way is that you now only have 1 place that you need to visit to see what I consider to be the best posts in the personal finance space.
Each week I will update the page with new articles from around the web and I will link to it from my Friday update post (which will now only contain bits and pieces about me and anything I have found interesting throughout the week).
My Week

In other news Nick is 1 month old on Sunday, I can’t believe how quickly the last month has gone by, it feels like only yesterday we were welcoming him into the world. He is growing at a crazy pace, I just hope my arm muscles can keep up because they feel like they are about to fall off after I have been carrying him for a while.
Comments
I have recently enabled the “Top Commentators” widget on my site. Please note that I have set the links in this widget to be do-follow. So if you have a website and want some free link juice from me, make sure you get your name into that list by visiting and commenting on my site. Pauline is way out in front on the All Time list, but you should be able to catch up on the monthly.
Search Terms
Here are some of the search terms that I enjoyed that sent people to my site this week:
- Can i give my husband a piggy bank as a gift - I think that is a great idea, although it may be better suited to children. Big boys normally prefer bank accounts.
- Ice cream stick house coin bank – I’m not sure how this would work, but it sounds like a cool idea.
- I want to change my running shoe but i feel bad spending money – Just the 1 shoe? Exercise is important, perhaps you should just go out and get another one.
- where can i get one of those butt piggy banks – I have no idea what a butt piggy bank is, but now i’m interested. Just don’t go sticking coins in you know where…
- how much does it cost to buy a baby – Can you even do such a thing? Try Googling “Adoption”
That’s it for this week folks.
I hope you all have a great weekend and remember to checkout this weeks best personal finance articles.

Hope you feel better!

Me too, although it’s Sunday night and i’m still not going so well
Being sick is the worst Glen! Feel better!

Yeah I hate it, you just aren’t anywhere near as productive when you are sick.
Great idea on changing up your round-up Glen! Sorry to hear you’re not doing well. Our three year old is starting to look like he is dealing with something similar, so my hope is the whole house does not get it. Have a great weekend!

I hope it means that everyone gets a bit more exposure on their posts.
Hope you feel better so that you can enjoy your party and Happy One Month Birthday to your son as well

I hope I don’t give him whatever I have on his 1 month birthday
Sorry to hear that you are getting sick Glen. I like your idea of having a running list of great articles. That is pretty good.
I don’t know how I feel about the butt piggy bank search term. That sounds inappropriate.

When I saw that search term I was sort of wondering what on earth they meant. I’m sort of glad I don’t know.

You’ve got some great ideas there Glen. I’m sorry to hear that you’re getting sick. I can relate ATM. I’ve had a cough for a little over a month. Went to the doctor’s office last week and finished my antibiotics, but still not getting much better. Guess it just takes time. Have a great weekend and feel better.

I haven’t been to the doctors, but if it sticks around more than about a week without getting better I might head on down.
Happy one month! Sometimes I think the day or two leading up to the “sick” is the worst cause you know it’s going to hit you in no time
At least once you get sick you normally only have a few days until you start feeling better.
I am a firm believer in Vitamin C overdose the second I feel a throat tickle

One month already? Time sure flies. Hope you are feeling better soon. I love the fun search terms.

I know, I can’t believe how quickly the time has gone!
I am feeling like poop this morning as well.
Hope you are better by now. I did a Google search and found a farting butt bank!
Jennifer Lynn recently posted..How spendy was your weekend?
lol, i don’t even want to know what you searched to find that.
I am feeling better now – I hope you also are on the mend.
I love the fourth search term. That was hilarious. The things people search for sometimes.
