Friday Round-Up: The Best in Personal Finance Blogs

As Thanksgiving approaches, many people become more cognizant of the wonderful things and people in our lives. The sun may seem a little brighter and the air a little more crisp (partially in thanks to that cold weather rolling in!). A feast with family and friends is just days away, and all may seem good with life.

Personally, I am thankful for my small family of furry children, for my extended family, and for the ability to work on my health. I love my husband and thank my lucky stars every day for having him in my life. And I love to sit back at times and take in the loveliness of life in my neighborhood, complete with laughing children, friendly neighbors, and a sense of safety.

How about you? What are you thankful for this Thanksgiving?

In other news, here are a few of the many fantastic articles I found this week. Enjoy!

• Jeff at Sustainable Life Blog shows us how to save over $3500 on his honeymoon. That’s one sweet deal!
• If you’ve ever met an uber frugal family, you’re sure to have some stories about their many ways to save cash, just like Debt Free by Thirty’s story about the the Lilkendeys.
• Beating Broke takes a look at passive income, including what it is and how to get it.
• Is it better to own a washer and dryer or go to the laundrymat? Frugal Confessions shares the pros and cons of both.
