I hope everyone had a great summer and labor day weekend, but now we enter the last quarter of 2009.  Back to school for kids and parents of kids alike, the weather will be slowly cooling, and maybe the most important part of the fall…..football is back!  If you are like me, Sundays are dedicated to your favorite team (NY Giants for me) with friends, food, and drinks.  To start off this new football season, here are some great reads from personal finance bloggers from around the net.

    Oh man… I LOVE FOOTBALL. The trick is going to be balancing all my “stuff” once Fantasy FB gets thrown into the mix! I’ve already turned down several invitations and am sticking to just 2 leagues, but even w/those I am not going to be able to commit the time I used to be able to. Oh well… it will still be fun!

    Thanks for the link.
