Make Things Last Longer, Survive a Down Economy and My 200th Post @ The Round Up

The customary weekly roundup

I only just noticed my previous post on 10 Tips on More Efficient and Economic Use of Air-Conditioners was my 200th post at The Personal Financier!

I remember starting this blog after writing 30 articles at Helium.com about 8 months ago. I remember staring at my archive trying to think how to come up with three writing topics a week. I wish I had more time since my head is exploding with ideas and thoughts.

I’d like to thank all my readers and fellow personal finance bloggers for their support. I’m looking forward to writing 200 new posts.

Without further a due, this week’s roundup:

The Festival of Frugality #133 was hosted by Squawkfox. My post on My View of Frugal Thinking was chosen as an Editor’s Pick! I enjoyed the following posts:

• Setup Google Alerts to Get Coupons and Deals @ MoneyNing
• The Plastic Made Me Do It! @ Can I Get Rich on a Salary?
• 75 Tips to Survive a Down Economy @ Frugal Dad
