Sunday Morning Link Love 9/8/7 (cool date!)
I’m totally worn out from working at and competing in a taekwondo tournament yesterday, so I’ll just get right to the great posts from the M-Network and beyond!
My favorite post this week (of all time) is What I Learned from the 2001 New England Patriots at Lazy Man and Money. I have been a Patriots fan my entire life (I grew up in the northeast, it is in my blood) and this post combines my love for football with my love of financial lessons. A great read. I may print it and hang it in my house. Right next to my very rare “New England Patriots Superbowl XX Champions” pennant. 
Other posts I particularly enjoyed:
Plonkee Money: What is one of the most important skills you need for good personal finance? I guarantee you already have it.
Gather Little By Little: Why Personal Finance is like Driving a Car. Excellent analogy that related important personal finance principles in a really approachable way.
Financial Dominance: What is the 4% rule? I learn something more about retirement from Brian every day. I had heard of this 4% thing but now I understand it a whole lot better.
DebtFREE-Revolution: Paying Bills is Fun Now. I don’t get quite as much enjoyment out of paying bills but I am a huge believer in a budget, and I do actually enjoy paying my credit card bill and seeing the number shrink.
Money Smart Life: Retirement: It’s Like Being 18 Only With Money. That headline would totally catch my eye too! Wait… it did catch my eye….
Fiveberries In Texas: Family Breakfast. I’m inspired… I want to have family breakfasts. Except I am lazy and like sleep.
Simply Us: Lessons Learned (AKA Murphy Enters Stage Left). A real life illustration of the importance of an emergency fund. I’ve been on an emergency fund kick lately.
That’s the roundup for this week! Hope you find something fascinating!

Thanks for the link, gal. You’re consistently one of my favorites. Though I keep checking to see how you did at the grocery store on Saturday! Inquiring minds, you know!
Thanks again, and I hope you try the breakfasts - it’s fun (oh, and I’m lazy, too and like to sleep in. That’s been the hardest thing to overcome.)

I was at a tournament all day yesterday so I actually have not been to the grocery store yet lol. I should have warned people
I’m leaving as soon as I get the little one down for a nap so check back in a few hours!

Glad I could help you understand the 4% rule a bit better.
I think our blogs complement each other quite well - yours is more “how to save money” (which I am horrible at) and mine is more “what to do with it once you have it” (which I do ok at).
Keep up the great work!

Thanks Brian that means a lot to me coming from you! I bookmark quite a lot of your posts in this “What I should think about once I have some money” mindset :).

Yay car working! That and a big home repair are my biggest fears. i have a half-written post about that I may finish someday if I stop thinking I’ll jinx myself lol.
