This February we had a special day, 2-22-22, which certainly generated a lot of puns and pricing specials in my in-box. Before this month is totally over, I wanted to highlight some of the posts I have especially enjoyed recently; I think I will present them in pairs.

Monday Melange, January 2022
I’m still thinking about what my spending numbers for 2021 mean, so instead of publishing a half-baked post, I thought I would rather highlight some great posts by others. Many on financial topics, many not.
I plan to be back next week with my thoughts on 2021 and the money that left the PiN household.

Early January is when people about their resolutions for the next 11 to 12 months. Usually there is talk of losing weight, saving more money, getting ahead at work.
Before I consider resolutions (or plans) for 2022, I would like to review some of the highlights of 2021. I find it is healthier for me to pay attention to things that have gone well, rather than always pointing out what needs to improve.

Every day I read a lot (a lot) of blog posts in the personal finance space. I have also been known to read in other subjects. Sometimes I even remember to save some of my favorites. Today I want to share a number of posts that tickled my fancy.

If you are reading this, then I don’t have internet access and/or wasn’t up to posting.
I probably was looking at a similar view, though.

Happy Blogiversary To Me, 2021
On October 1, 2018, I posted my first “real” blog post, and now, suddenly, it’s 3 years later. I thought it was time to throw myself a little blogiversary party. Or at least celebrate it on the blog.

Personal finance posts can sometimes be awfully earnest and dry. Sometimes, a spoonful of sugar (or a good laugh) makes the medicine go down.
Channeling another Julie Andrews character, here are a few of my favorite things posts from the last year or so. The ones that made me smile.
Monday Melange, Marital Missives
In May, I published a round up post of some of the links I have sent to Mr. PiN in the last year. I was pretty surprised at the number, and decided to split the list into 2 posts.
Many of the subjects are similar to what I write about on the blog, so I hope that you might find this collection interesting.
Monday Melange. Money Is For Spending, Too
Before I leave on a vacation, I always try to tidy up the house: clear the desk, put everything away, empty the fridge of food that won’t be good by the time we return. This makes coming back to regular life slightly less painful. This time, I also put together a round up post, to share some blog posts that spoke to me over the past few months.
I didn’t have much of a budget for this vacation–after over a year at home, I sort of didn’t care what it cost. Sometimes it is time to loosen the purse strings, and for the PiN household, this was that time; though I still like to get a good deal if that is possible. A number of the posts below reflect that mindset.

Lately, the PiN household has joined the modern, electronically connected world. By that, I mean, I have started forwarding articles to Mr. PiN that I think he would enjoy. Or that I want him to do something about.
I thought I might share some of the articles that I thought interesting enough to forward. After going through all the links, I will concentrate on the personal finance and travel-related articles I sent in the past year.
