Weekly Roundup – Back to School Edition – Week of July 26th

/ By Jacob A Irwin

This week marks my last week in the workforce for several years, as I have resigned my current job in anticipation of going to graduate school this fall to get my PhD in Chemical Engineering (I must be crazy).

It was a very important week for me financially because I received my last real paycheck and more importantly, closed on my condo where I’ll be moving for graduate school. The moving truck comes this Monday, August 2nd! Exciting times!

It was also a very active week for My Personal Finance Journey. Five of our articles were selected to participate in blog carnivals throughout the blogosphere.

Check out the posts that were selected, as well as the other very informative articles that were selected in the contests, by clicking on any one of the links below.

Why Following Hot Mutual Fund Managers Doesn’t Work included in the Best of Money Carnival at Canajun Finances
Home Based Business Opportunities included in the Carnival of Financial Independence at Ditch The Boss
How I Decided Between HMO, PPO, and POS Health Insurance Coverage included in the Carnival of Money Stories at No Debt Plan.net
Does Being Green Make Economic Sense – Part 1 – Green and Hybrid Cars included in the Carnival of Personal Finance at Beating Broke
How Does Home Ownership Fit in to Your Overall Asset Allocation? included Real Estate Investing Carnival at The Income Blog
