This Week in the Blogosphere: Soccer Practice Edition
Soccer practice started last night. No, it’s not some reliving-my-glory-years thing, I’m the coach of my son’s Upward Soccer team. Our first exposure to team sports was in the spring when he and his sister played soccer together. This fall’s team is mostly 4 year old and I think one or two kids that are five. That’s pretty young. We were in the same age group in the spring but most of those kids were 6 or almost six (except for my son who barely made the minimum age after just turning 4). So this should be an interested experience…especially if all the other teams are stocked with 6-year olds! My son loves playing though and Upward soccer is a great environment in which to play, so we’re looking forward to it.
So what does all of that have to do with finances? Nothing I guess….well, maybe you could look at it as a frugal choice of a sports league – whereas my daughter’s gymnastics program costs more than $350 (though it does last longer), playing Upward soccer only costs $80 (and he gets a really cool uniform!). I definitely recommend checking out Upward for anyone with kids who love sports but want them to start out in a no-pressure and affirmative environment (they have other sports besides soccer as well).
Onto the week that was….
- Here is a very interesting interview with someone who has already done what most of us are reading these blogs to do, you know, save, invest, accumulate wealth, live (@ ChristianPF )
- Here is a comprehensive and very detailed look at asset allocation. I’m sure that I’ll be going back to study this further in the future. (@Moolanomy )
- Here is a good rational approach to reduce some of your worrying about money (of course, this is most effective if you actually behave rationally in regards to worrying and money and worrying about money) (@Capital Couples Finance )
Now a double dip….
- Starting with some good tips for remaining debt free once you do all the hard work to get out of debt (@ BibleMoneyMatters )
- Finally, I have been accused of exactly what he describes in this Bible verse of the day post (unfairly of course!
) ….so I’ll bookmark it and try to go back and read it periodically (@ BibleMoneyMatters )
Have a great weekend and God Bless…

Have fun with the league, but what’s upward soccer? Sorry…no kids yet. BTW…thanks a bunch for the link.
@James – Upward is an organization that runs sports leagues through local churches. They have basketball, soccer, flag football, and cheerleading, I think. Our first experience was last spring and we thought it was a great league.
