Last weekend, we had 2 birthday parties. In two weeks we are having our biggest party of the year. I’m going to try to get our yard done this weekend, while my wife and a couple of her friends decorate inside the house. October is still nuts at Casa del Myhouse.
Today, I found out that I accidentally made a huge extra payment to my car. $650 too much. I thought I had deleted the auto-payment series from the bank’s site, but I only deleted September’s payment. Hopefully, I can find enough slack in the bills to make up the difference, instead of hitting the emergency fund.

The best posts of the week:
J. Money’s doing a series on side hustles. The latest one is about chicken farming [3]. If I lived in a more reasonable city, I’d have some chickens of my own.
Self-improvement is always good for you, kind of by definition. Here are a few ways to pick up some interesting certifications [4].
Lifehacker posted on Squaretrade. I can tell you that, without a doubt, I’ll never again get an extended warranty [5] in-store.
Finally, a list of the carnivals I’ve participated in:
10 ways to re-use shopping bags [6] was included as an Editor’s Pick in the Festival of Frugality [7]. Thanks!
The Zombie Guide to Saving [8] was included in the Carnival of Personal Finance [9].
A Well-Trained Husband [10] was in the Carnival of Money Stories [11].
If I missed anyone, please let me know. Thanks for including me!
