Links Lisa Likes - 9/7/13

This post was supposed to be up this past Saturday. Fail.

Yet another week has flown by and I still feel like I'm playing catch up. WHERE IS THE TIME GOING?!

I forgot what day this happened (terrible memory), but my friends and I did our Fantasy Football draft. I am actually last year's champ (I never played before that point)! So that means that this year, I got a rep to keep, nawww mean??? ;) Here's my draft report card:
Like my Paint skillz?? ;)
I was always content being a B student, so I'm satisfied :)

On Friday, I helped set up for a local ministry event at my old high school! More on that in my upcoming weekend recap.

Should We All Just Live Like We're Poor? - [Save. Spend. Splurge.]
One of my biggest pet peeves is when someone judges my financial decisions when I know for a fact that they haven't even begun to sort their own financial life out. For me, as long as you have an emergency fund, are paying off your debts, and are consciously spending, you're good!
