This was a fantastic week for Wide Open Wallet! It was the best week ever as far as traffic is concerned. Last weekend my post 10 tips to get your house sold made the rounds on Stumble Upon and brought the most traffic this blog has ever received. On Monday my post Saying no to your kids was included in the Carnival of Personal Finance. On Tuesday that same post was featured on MSN money. Which was awesome! Besides the extra traffic, it was just great to be recognized by such a major site. Then on Thursday I got to host the Finance Fiesta. Which was actually a lot of fun. I really enjoyed reading all the submissions.

Ok, now that I’m done bragging about how awesome this site is… let’s move on to how amazing some of my friends are.

Mrs. Micah talks about how her mom organizes her charitable donations. If you’ve ever donated money you know that the next day your mailbox is stuffed with requests from every charity this side of the equator. You need to have a system if your going to give regularly.
