Are you ready for Thanksgiving? We bought the dinner’s centerpiece yesterday. There are a couple of prepared items we’ll buy Tuesday but otherwise we’re good to go.
My article at Couple Money this week was about how to decide if you need life insurance. Check out my guest post on conference networking at Blog Conference Guide for the (Un)Experienced.
In other news, the giveaway for a copy of Psych Yourself Rich is running until noon Tuesday. I’ll announce a new giveaway geared towards increasing subscribers that day as well.
I have one more announcement which is that I’ll be taking a Thanksgiving break from Wednesday through Sunday. I wish you and your family a wonderful holiday!

Hi Bucksome, just got back from holidays. Why were you off Twitter for a week as well? Holidays?
Hi Sam, we did miss you! I didn’t get to spend much time or twitter either the past two weeks. It was back to back business trips and those days are long as I’m sure you know.
Thanksgiving has come way too fast! Thanks for the mention.
Thanks for the link Kay Lynn!
Boy I am so not ready for Thanksgiving yet! I did remember to put the turkey in the fridge to thaw yesterday, but that’s about it. Have a happy holiday!
Thanks for the great links! The one about turning down a promotion is something I’ve never thought about before.
Hey Kay Lynn, thanks for including my link!
Thanks for the link. I am going to go and eat Chinese food with my partner and some of her friends for thanksgiving :).
Happy thanksgiving.
How cool that an Englishman in Egypt is taking part in Thanksgiving festivities! America’s reach is far and wide….
Ha ha, my partner is American so I have spent a few Thanksgivings in USA. I used to also attend Canadian Thanksgiving and anti-colonial Thanksgivings when living in Canada to pay respect to the native’s history too. I like to celebrate with everyone :).
