Superbowl is coming up in a few hours and my husband is rushing home to make in time to catch the whole game. We just spent the weekend on the Western side of North Carolina relaxing with friends who live in the mountains.
If you’re looking for a way to recharge without going broke try camping out by the Blue Ridge Pkwy. The Smoky Mountains are absoutley beautiful (best time to go for pictures is when the leaves change in October).
This is our second time in the area and even though it was a bit chiller than I’d like, we still got explore and see some towns around there.
For the Big Game we’re going low key this time and staying in. My husband is making nachos and I’m preparing some wings. As you probably already figured we’re rooting for the Giants to win.
Couple Money Around the Web
Besides writing here on Couple Money I contribute at other sites as well:
- Go Banking Rates->TurboTax Vs. H&R Block: Which Tax Preparation Software Comes Out on Top? Since tax season is here, I’ve been getting requests to cover how to get taxes done. I complied a list of options for readers interested in finding what’s best for them.
- Go Banking Rates->Tips for Tackling Your Taxes as a Couple Continuing on the topic of taxes, I thought sharing some tax tips would be helpful for newlyweds.
- Green Panda Treehouse->A Personal Story of Risk Taken Over at GPT, I’m in the middle of series on investing, not just in the markets, but also in yourself. I share my little leap of faith when I became self-employed.
- In a Nutshell->Should You Pay Off Debt First or Save? Personal Finance is such a tricky thing – it’s hardly just about money. We tend to make decision that make us feel good and/or safe. When we try to build our finances it usually means working hard to combat our emotional fears with rationality. Paying debt vs saving is a fun topic to look at as each family have different needs and fears.
Please let me know what you think on those posts’ sites.
