Diamonds in the Rough Roundup 2/20/15

Greetings.  So even though I have been blogging for over a year now, I never really settled on a posting schedule.  For a while I tried to do 3 times a week, then 2, then back to 3.  With my responsibilities working as an eye doctor, at home as a dad and husband and doing freelance writing on the side, I’ve decided on posting once a week with a roundup post thrown in the mix.  It’s all about balance and I think this will give me the ability to write a quality post once a week while keeping sane!

Here are some insanely good articles I came across this week:

Alternative Ways to Save for College by Budget Blonde:  I recently wrote about why i choose to invest in a 529 plan, but Cat has some other good suggestions. Some people advocate not saving anything for college but just to focus on retirement.  Everybody is different but I feel saving something for college gives the kids a nice head start.

My name is Jeremy and This is How I Retired in My 30’s by Budgets Are Sexy:  An inspiring guest post from Jeremy who was able to “retire” with his wife while in their 30’s.  Shows how far a great savings rate can take you.

Why You Should Save for Your Child’s Education…And Why You Shouldn’t by Wealth Gospel:  Nice post giving some pros and cons of contributing to your child’s college education.  I’m firmly on the pro side but there is no one right answer on this issue.

  1. Posting schedules are always difficult. I used to write 6 times a week at the beginning, then down to five. Then I moved down to three posts (M-W) and our two roundups on Friday (regular and giveaway). Now I’m down to M W F with no roundup. It’s always tough to balance other life responsibilities with blogging.
