Hello Weekend

Hello blog readers, what's the weekend like so far? My appetite has been way off and I have a taste for Waffle House breakfast even though it's lunch. Although you can order anything at anytime at that place.

Another beautiful day to be out and about. Is that where you will be today or watching some college football games? Either way, have a fun day!

Frugal Tip for the College-Bound

It's a busy time around the house as college-bound students are heading back to college. Some of the young adults may have worked part-time during the summer break to earn extra money which is a wonderful idea.

Frugal Tip ->Hopefully, they saved some of their earnings to help out with buying dorm room items, books, and other necessities. If they already have a credit card, encourage them to use cash instead or debit card where the funds are taken out of their checking account. The last thing students need to be concerned about is the credit card bills arriving in the mail.

Legendary Coach Passes Away

It was sad to learn that legendary Penn State coach Joe Paterno passed away today from lung cancer. He was 85. I'm sure the Penn State community is feeling the loss of 'JoePa' the nickname they so proudly gave to him. Our heartfelt condolences go out to coach Paterno's family and close friends. Check out coverage on CNN including a gallery of photos on the coach. Despite the recent scandal and coach Paterno's ultimate firing, nothing will deter the success he obtained over all the year's coaching the Penn State football team. He truly was a Legend!
