One week down, and I’m pretty happy so far. My goal between now and the end of the summer is to post great content on Mondays and Wednesdays and then spend my Fridays seeing what everyone else in the personal finance and eco community is writing about. Of course, I plan to share those links so you can benefit too! Once I finish school, then hopefully I can ramp up the blog a bit and start posting even more! There are so many great personal finance and lifestyle blogs out there, I don’t even know where to start. Here’s a look at what I’ve been reading this week in the blogosphere.

• Young and Thrifty reviewed and is giving away Findependance Day, a new novel by Jonathan Chevreau of the Financial Post.
• Give Me Back My Five Bucks wrote about how to get the most out of hostelling. I’ve been on two big backpacking trips and stayed in hostels both times. With a little practice, you can really get a lot for very little.
• Canadian Finance Blog asked what you are going to do with your tax refund this year. Mine will likely go towards paying for my upcoming wedding – a topic I will be blogging about here shortly.
• The Financial Blogger explains why you should start a blog in your 20′s. I wish I’d read this 3 years ago!
• I’ve been hearing a lot lately about a book called Millionaire Teacher. Boomer & Echo just reviewed it and are giving a copy away. This sounds like a book I want to get my hands on!
• Invest It Wisely asks where you get your stuff done? Personally, I get my stuff done almost everywhere but the office where there are too many distractions to count. Ironic I know…
• Its tax time and there’s been a lot of talk lately about RRSPs, TFSA, RESPs and more acronyms than you can even try to remember. But really, does it matter where you put your money as long as its tax-sheltered? Sustainable Personal Finance asks this very question.
• I remember when I was in industry, I had all kinds of work perks and benefits. Even now, as a student, I have access to more benefits than I know what to do with. Are you using yours? According to Prairie EcoThrifter, you should be!

Happy Weekend Everyone! New posts to come next week – if you’ve read this far, what would you like to see me write about?
