saturday roundup: simple edition

This week’s Saturday roundup is called the Simple edition because 3 out of 4 blog posts included the word simple. Also I’m feeling like I need a little bit of simplicity. We had a quiet morning with friends, made soup, and folded some laundry. Good things, after a busy week.

My favorite reads this week:

How Much Does Your Debt Cost?: Matt Jabs wrote about finding out how much your debt costs you each month. Not the minimum payments, not the amount you can afford to put toward your debt snowball, but the amount of money you pay in interest each month. The number I came up with made me choke on my coffee.
Simplify It: Buy Quality: I love this post by Emily about buying quality. It’s short but spot-on.
Some Thoughts on Black Friday: I love Trent’s idea of making a list before he even looks at Black Friday sales flyers. Since flyers are available online now, might be time to make your holiday shopping list.
A Simple Guide to Keeping Passion in Your Marriage while Kids are Still in the Home: A long title for a great article about how to keep the flame of passion alive in your marriage while you have little ones at home.

This week on The Centsible Life:

Thanks for the link! I have a follow up post coming since right after I published that, something quality broke and I discovered yet another way to simplify, even when the good stuff is gone.
