Weekend Link Love: Epic Business Travel Edition

March 16th, 2013 | 12 Comments

It’s been a long two weeks since we had a link roundup here at MFIJ.  Apologies for that, but I’ve been traveling like mad for my job.  I take a break and the blogosphere drops crazy amounts of good posts.  Just my luck that a wave of great writing would hit when I’m least able to absorb it.  Below, you can find links to some of the awesome articles that graced my presence over the last few weeks.

First, let’s start with blog news.  Over the last two weeks the following occurred.

• I was featured as a reader profile on My Personal Finance Journey.  So if you’d like to learn a bit more about me, you can check this link out.
• My dividend stock analysis of LMT was mentioned by Passive Income Pursuit and also by Financially Integrated.
  
• My dividend stock analysis of MCD was mentioned by Passive Income Pursuit.
• My primer on federal income and investment taxes got editor’s choice in the Carnival of Personal Finance hosted at Narrow Bridge and was featured on the Simple Dollar’s weekly round up.
• My February blog update was mentioned by Hello Suckers.
• My post about the emergency fund was featured in the Carnival of Personal Finance hosted at NZ Muse.
• My first part of my primer on dividend growth stocks got mentioned by Passive Income Pursuit.

   Thanks for the links! I know what you mean about taking a break and having to catch up on everything in the blogosphere. I’ve got a big backlog of posts to read up on now that I’m back and I just took 4 days off. I thought it was funny seeing Dividend Monk’s ITW analysis at the same time as mine. But it’s good to see that his valuation jives with mine.
