Some of my favorites for the week. 
Personal Finance
Frugal Dad mentions the fact that increasing your income can have an even greater impact on your financial situation than living frugally.
MoneyNing explains what to do when you lose your credit card.
Taxes
Taxgirl hunts down those responsible for spreading false information about a second rebate check.
From my tax blog, one old and one new:
Yielding Wealth discusses what to do when you can’t pay the taxes you owe.
Investing
Amateur Asset Allocator says that Socially Responsible Investing is a scam! (If you look in the comments, you’ll see that I agree.)
It sounds like Trent at the Simple Dollar is ignoring the market noise. Here’s my favorite quote:
We are not living through anything that even compares to the Great Depression, and to even imply that we are is simultaneously deeply insulting to those who did live through it as well as woefully ignorant as to what it was like.
ABCs of Investing explains 529 savings plans.
Monevator explains the concept of liquidity.
Hope you enjoy them as much as I did.

Great list. While I like some SRI, some of it really is a scam. I think it depends. Anyway, I enjoy the reading, and thanks for including my post about IRS installment plan for paying your taxes.
Hi Miranda.
My issue with SRI is that people seem to think that investing in a company’s stock is doing them a favor.
Assuming that the investment was made in the secondary market (as opposed to buying directly from the company at an IPO), the stock was bought from a 3rd party.
The company itself isn’t involved in the transaction at all.
Thanks a lot for the link!
