Last night, my wife and I were fortunate enough to entertain a few bloggers at our home. While we typically hang out with The Digerati Life and Stop Buying Crap once a month, this time, a couple of other bloggers dropped by while they were in town. If you are a reader of this site, you are probably aware of J. Money from Budgets are Sexy. You might not be as aware of A Gai Shan Life. I have to admit that I wasn’t as aware of Revanche blog as I should be. However, I encourage you to visit her site. It’s very well done. (Like you may gather from the logo, she’s really good with dogs.)
With the exception of my BBQ running out of propane, the night went perfectly. We played a game of Settlers of Catan (seriously the best game of all time). J. Money, learning the game for the first time, came very, very close to winning. However, in the end, SVB from The Digerati Life won.
It’s always nice to get together with other personal finance bloggers. We all have something in common, but it’s really odd how little “shop talk” went on. Anyway, enough of my ramblings for now, here are personal finance links for this past week:

I’m not surprised that SVB won, she’s a Settler fanatic! I’m glad that she forgot to bring it to Orlando so we could play Texas Holdem instead :)
I am probably as fanatical, if not more so.
Thanks for including my article in your list of links. I really appreciate it. :D
Thanks again for hosting us, it was fantastic fun — even when I was just waiting for blood to be shed over the game.
Oooooh next time we should play Hold ‘Em!!! and bring your money too ;)
That was heck of a great game. Cap was in his element as usual. And I enjoyed putting that robber on you Lazy Man, every chance I got… (well thanks for the return favor too….lol).
