Dream Home Roundup

by Joe Plemon on July 30, 2010

in Weekly Roundup

Taking a cue from Joe Taxpayer, I am simply naming my roundup after my favorite post of the week.  In this case, Jeff Rose from Good Financial Cents wins the prize as he shares 23 amazing tips on how to save money building your dream home.  Even if building a dream home is not on your radar, check out Jeff’s post for lots of common sense tips.

Evan,
GREAT is a great word, but I felt more confused than great. My first reaction was that it was a mistake. I feel pretty great now though.

Congrats on getting on WSJ Joe! I noticed that both you and Evan have articles there.

Is there a submission form for that? Or did they just find your article and link to it?

Darren,
No submission form. I really don’t know how it happened to show up on WSJ (as a link, not the full article). If it hadn’t been for my Google alert for Personal Finance by the Book, I wouldn’t have even known. Still…pretty cool.

Thanks for including me in the round-up. I like the naming methodology.

P.S. Did you get out of spam jail?

Bucksome,
Thanks for asking about spam jail, but alas … I am still imprisoned. I am sort of getting used to asking bloggers to liberate me one comment at a time, but it is a hassle. Been three weeks now!
