Another big Yankees-Red Sox series this weekend, and the Yanks started out in first place this time!  What a difference a couple of months makes (This is where all of the Red Sox fans unsubscribe ).  Nothing wrong with a little friendly rivalry.  Look, I even included a picture of Pudge!  I know it’s a long season, and we’ll have to see the Sox in the playoffs.  They even won on the 30th anniversary of the Thurman Munson Game.  I remember Bobby Murcer had a big night against the Orioles after giving a eulogy earlier that day at the Captain’s funeral.  And what a pitchers’ duel last night!

This week we’ll start with the guest posts:

Bob at Five Cent Nickel shows us how to calculate our real hourly wage.  He factors in commuting time, overtime, and aggravation.

Karawynn at Get Rich Slowly is auditioning for a staff writing position.  She takes us on a visit to the Island of Misfit Foods.

A.J. Clark is also auditioning at Get Rich Slowly.  He’s documenting his journey to pay down his debt.  He’s already made some good progress.

Now, on to the regular posts:

Jim at Bargaineering offers some things to do while you’re on furlough.  I liked his suggestion about updating your resumé every three months.

No Credit Needed gave a close check of his medical bills after his kidney stone procedure.  I can sympathize; kidney stones are brutal!

Jacob at Early Retirement Extreme talks about upcycling to turn waste into goods.  He also welcomed readers from Survivalblog.  Maybe they’ll read my Self-Reliance Series.

Blunt Money is looking for long-lasting clothing.  I recommended Duluth Trading for casual clothes.

Five Cent Nickel discusses the fallacy of relative price evaluation.  He says we need to look at actual dollar amounts instead of viewing things in a relative context.

David at My Two Dollars recycled some of his childhood toys for his relatives.  It’s nice that some things get a second life.

Passive Family Income is breaking down his income goals into daily amounts.  He’s made great progress already writing eHow articles.

Steve at Brip Blap sometimes finds his inspiration in low-brow topics.  So do I.  I love the Three Stooges.

Patrick at Cash Money Life is growing dependent on coffee, due to his new baby.  You do what you have to do when it comes to midnight feedings.  When he needs to quit the java, he can read this post.

Have a great weekend, and GO YANKEES!
