Another week has passed and it’s safe to say that I have blown by the 300 subscriber count! Thank you for all your continual support and I will definitely work on bringing you better content and more giveaways! (For those that missed it, remember to enter the Microsoft Money 2007 Deluxe Giveaway!)  Another piece of news is that I changed the blog layout so it fits into 1000 pixels wide for better control of content look.  If you don’t see any chances, remember to refresh the page!

Here’s this week’s top commentators and post I enjoyed from around the blogshpere.

• Ann from Homesick for Home Business talks about some things you can do after you start saving $2 a day for a year.
• Eric from MoneyDork explains when he thinks we should tap into our emergency funds.
• Adventures in Money Making gives us an update on his Prosper.com returns. Maybe this success post will help you take the plunge. Some might remember that I also have a prosper.com account (I only invested $200 to try it out though).
• Money, Matter and More Musings had written about the lack of correlation between intelligence and wealth.
• Five Cent Nickel shows us an analysis on what our returns on the S&P 500 would be if we keep panicking.

Carnivals, Festivals and more.

• Festival of Frugality
