Weekly Roundup: Spa Edition

6 comments

Today is our annual Christmas spa day. All the ladies in my extended family including my mom, grandma, aunts, cousin, and cousin-in-laws head to the spa. It started one year because nobody knew what to purchase for my grandma. The spa idea surfaced and has been an annual tradition ever since. I look forward to it each year as it’s nice to relax during the holidays and spend time with my family without having to worry about presents, cooking, packing, etc.

Speaking of traditions, Being Frugal discusses her traditions and shares the recipe for her Christmas breakfast.

If you are still scrambling to finish your shopping today My Two Dollars has 10 last minute gift ideas under $15. Thinking of purchasing a gift card? Moolanomy thinks gift cards are evil. He does have some great points… although I still like to give gift cards.

If you still can’t find the Wii Mrs. Micah looks at the alternatives and Cash Money Life shows how to earn $1 million by not buying the Wii!

In personal finance, one of my favorite articles this week is The Dough Roller’s Ultimate guide to traditional and roth 401ks and IRAs. Lots of great information all in one place…. and we know I love retirement accounts!

Other articles that caught my eye this week:

Consumerism Commentary highlights the new Quicken online product.
Gather Little By Little discusses his change jar.
The Digerati Life profiles those with a heavy debt load.
The Simple Dollar talks about financial role models.

Finally, Wisebread is running an article to share your favorite financial website and win a $25 Amazon gift card. Special thanks to Five Cent Nickel for submitting My Dollar Plan!

Now, off to the spa!
