Hello there! If you are new here, you might want to subscribe to the RSS feed for updates on this topic.

This edition of the findings comes a few days late as I was out of town most of Friday. I was also tagged for the six word memoir meme by Credit Addict, and it took me a while to come up with something. So, I finally ended up with:

“Seeking to achieve excellence through education.”

And with that, I have to tag five others. I’m tagging: Heidi, SVB, Fiscal Musings, Ryan, and Blunt Money. If you’ve already been tagged, you can ignore this. It is hard to keep up with the status of who has and hasn’t participated already. If you do participate, there are a few simple rules:

  • Write your own six word memoir.
  • Post it on your blog and include a visual illustration if you wish.
  • Link to the person who tagged you in your post.
  • Tag at least five more blogs.
  • Leave a comment on the tagged blogs with an invitation to play.

And now, on with the links!
