Ahh, finally time to catch up on the weekend reading, on all things personal finance! It’s been a roller coaster week at Family Money Saver HQ, so Saturday and Sunday are always a welcome sight.
The weather also seems to have finally turned in our neck of the woods, so if you’re in the same boat – find a good personal finance book (or just your tablet and these articles) and curl up by a warm fireplace for some weekly reading.
Health And Dental Insurance – Not Really Insurance | Boomer & Echo
A great guest piece I came across on Boomer & Echo this week, uncovers some truths regarding health and dental insurance. Is it always worthwhile to get health and dental coverage if you leave your current employer? What about if you’re self-employed? Should you pay up for a benefits plan, or are you just wasting your money? Find out what coverage you might want to look into, and the coverage you may want to skip.
Low Education Jobs with High Pay | Reverse the Crush
Some people are worried that a lack of post-secondary education will hold them back from earning and saving money. I love this article, as it covers a number of real jobs that can be had with minimal education requirements and also still have very reasonable pay. Just because you didn’t do well in school, doesn’t mean you’re resigned to minimum wage or restricted in your ability to save. Everyone has their own unique skill sets and hard work can accompany that to further enhance anyone’s ability to earn a solid wage.

Have a great weekend!
Hey Family Money Saver, thanks again for the shout out! It’s so true that everyone has their own unique skillset. Otherwise, thanks for putting this article together. I’m looking forward to reading the other posts. Enjoy the rest of your weekend. 🙂
Thanks you, too! And yeah, people definitely can sell themselves short – particularly if they didn’t do well in school. There are so many jobs now that you can make great money just with hands on experience, apprenticeships or just plain old hard work. Thanks again for reading!
Great list! I’m a newbie so The Plutus Awards have been a great way to discover some personal finance resources I knew nothing about!
Welcome! Yes, I was not really familiar with the Plutus Awards myself, but it’s definitely a great way to discover some of the better and more popular personal finance content. Thanks for stopping by.
Great round up. I like having benefits, I treat it like a buffet. If I did not have benefits I would probably not have routine check ups, haha!
Thanks, looks like it’s time for another round up already 🙂 Yeah, it’s actually amazing how many people don’t use their benefits or only utilize a small portion. I guess that’s the reason they can seem like a great value to those who do take full advantage.
