First of all, I want to thank everyone who participated in the first contest here at Fiscal Musings this past week. I’ll be announcing the winners of the contest shortly after I return home from Arizona, most likely on Monday. And now, on to the articles that make up this weekend edition:

1. Punny Money is trying to get the attention any bored rich people who would like to pay him a million dollars to do really anything of their choice. It’s quite the interesting post, and I must say that crazier things have happened.

2. Racer X reminds us that we should be careful when we give personal finance advice. Since money is often an emotional issue for many people we need to be aware of when we should and shouldn’t try to give out advice. People aren’t always ready to hear it.

3. Lily over at The Honest Dollar has an interesting article up about higher food prices along with some strategies of how to deal with them. We’re all probably noticing some higher food prices, but the financial strains can be eased with a few small changes.

Fiscal Musings Throwback (FMT): Last April I talked about the role that risk plays in investing. As with any investment, there will be some associated risks, but there are ways to reduce risk and good information is one of them.
