Weekly Blog Roundup, Hot Water Heater Edition

I’ve discovered that I haven’t really had hot water in my new apartment since moving in. I’ve been settling for barely warm showers thinking I was just a victim of poor timing. An adjustment to the hot water heater has fixed this problem as far as I can tell. Now that I can take warm showers, I can more enjoy these articles from MoneyBlogNetwork and beyond.

Before we get to the links, here’s a reminder that I’m giving away two copies of Cash, Cars & College by Janine Bolon. With only 11 comments so far, your chances are still pretty good. Now, on with the show.
