Thanks to all my readers for another great week. There have been some interesting discussions started in the comments – behold the power of The Yakezie.
I’ve seen so much great advice this week that I’m proud to present this week’s featured writing. Please do yourself a favor and check them out.
I participated in the Yakezie Carnival this week hosted by Miss T at Prairie Eco Thrifter. Many thanks to her for putting that together.
I’m ready for the weekend. Some old friends of mine are coming to visit, so we’ll see how that turns out…

Cheers,

- Over at American Debt Project, we have another delightful musing from S. on what she wants to do when she gets out of debt. Always entertaining and engaging stuff here.
- Ashley at Money Talks Coaching has another excellent post: what do you do when faced with a tsunami of unplanned expenses? This site is a great resource if you are struggling.
- 101 Centavos has a cool take on learning a new language by “faking it till you make it.” This site is a must read if you are interested in the money behind mining, minerals, and resources of the Earth.
- Cassie at Digging Out and Up raises a good question in At What Point Do You Talk About Money? with your significant other. This site makes me happy.
- Saving Advice is a new site on my radar, but that just means my radar is faulty. SavingAdvice.com has some great tips to break your TV habit.
- Jai Catalano has 5 Quick Ways to Tell You Aren’t a Photographer. Jai is good with a camera and can salsa dance like nobody’s business. Always entertaining here.
- Jeff at Sustainable Life Blog has a tutorial on making your own hard apple cider, homebrew style. I like Jeff’s site because I have an interest in retiring to a self sustainable ranch. Plus he’s always open about his finances and honest about his progress.
- Miss T at Prairie Eco Thrifter has an A to Z list of brain foods. This site is quality content, post after post. A must-visit.




I’m glad to hear my site makes you happy
Thank you so much for including me in your featured writing list!

Hope you have a great weekend with your friends. We too are getting together with some friends we haven’t seen in ages.
Thanks for including my post on superfoods. I really appreciate it. Also, thanks for such kind words. It means a lot.
No problem. Thanks for being so supportive of the new guy.
I really like that post about learning a new language by 100 centavos. Learning a second language really is a great way to inspire personal development!
Me too. His analytical writing is really great, and you can tell he has a creative mind because he is able to hit on so many cultural issues in a self-described “short” post.
Thank you very much for the mention. Much appreciated. I, too, have been enjoying going back through your blog as well and catching up on all you have written.

John you have some amazing content here – stuff for people from all walks of e-society. This is a New Age and I feel like we’re actually ushering something in here – making real changes on the homefront; with the people. I’m excited to be involved and can’t wait to see just how many people this site is able to reach and help. We are on the cusp of something here in America, societal reform in some way or another. The people are restless and starving for purpose. People are tired of mundane living and material focus. It’s time to stop being a victim of society and start being a victor of the individual.
Thanks, Brandon, glad to have you involved. Good things are coming…
Nice roundup, John. Look forward to sinking my teeth into these recommendations!
Thanks Rich. Glad you stopped by.
Hey John, It’s great to see you having fun with the Yakezie Challenge. Your 6 months will be done before you realize and your blog will have grown so much. Blog on!
Thanks, Hunter. I’m learning so much from all you guys with more experience. Can’t wait to see what’s in store.
