There’s nothing like a little hard physical labor to make me appreciate my desk job.  I spent much of last weekend resetting the concrete pavers around my pool.  Let’s just say that my back ain’t what it used to be.  It gives me a new appreciation for what bricklayers put up with on a daily basis.

Here are the best posts that I read this past week:

Beks at Blogging Away Debt shamelessly saved money on her vacation.  I wish that was the case for me.  The Bahamas was expensive.

Jim at Bargaineering explains what tax lots are.  He dispels conventional wisdom with one of his tips.

Lazy Man and Money talks about how the city of Oakland wants to tax medical marijuana.  They must be getting desperate in California for tax revenue.

Matt from Debt Free Adventure has a guest post at My Two Dollars that outlines the benefits of frugal living.  One of the benefits is increased joy.

Free Money Finance has a series about the jobs that he’s held.  His latest entry deals with working for a maniac.  I can sympathize.

The Weakonomist at Weakonomics discusses why expensive beer is selling more than cheap beer.  I’ve always stuck to my Samuel Adams Lager.

Trent at The Simple Dollar offers ten unusual ways to improve your appearance of confidence.  Check out the eye color trick.

J.D. at Get Rich Slowly offers a free affairs organizer that was created by one of his readers, Erik.  Check it out.

Blunt Money talks about creating a time budget.  I used to neglect planning my time, too.

Jeff at the Stretchy Dollar has a guest post at Consumerism Commentary that cautions us to safeguard our income.  I’m also interested in building multiple income streams.

That’s all for today.  Tune in tomorrow for the premiere of Sun-Tzu Sunday!
