Hi, Hello, and Welcome to the 79th edition of the festival of frugality. We had 40 unique and insightful post submitted to us this week by a number of different personal finance bloggers, so take some time and enjoy the works they have created. If you’ve been to FinanceIsPersonal.com (formerly known as Getting Green) before, you’ll notice that the blog is supporting a brand new look. I think it’s a much cleaner look, so we’ll stick with it for a while, and see where it takes us! If this is your first time here, I’d like to encourage you to check out some more of our articles, otherwise enjoy these great posts below!
