Weekly Roundup - New Wallet Edition [fivecentnickel.com]
Over the weekend, I finally decided to replace my wallet. My previous wallet was so old that I can’t remember when I bought it. It’s held up well, but it was time for a change. When it comes to wallet shopping, I always head to TJ Maxx or Marshalls, as they always have a big (but somewhat random) collection of nice wallets for cheap. This time around, I found a really nice bi-fold leather wallet for ten bucks. Not too shabby. In fact, I liked it so much that I bought two.
And now, some recent articles that caught my eye…

Lazy Man talked about the worst gifts he’s ever gotten.
Flexo talked about his recent experiences try to “buy the dips” in the stock market. In short, it hasn’t worked very well.
