Weekly Roundup: Fogo De Chao Edition

Fogo De Chao is a Brazilian churrascaria, or steakhouse, that features something they call espeto corrido, or continuous service. Anyone who has gone to a churrascaria knows it’s nothing but round after round buffet of grill meats like lamb, pork, sausages, steaks, etc. etc. etc; it’s really a ridiculously indulgent meal and that’s without even considering it’s ridiculous salad bar. Well, they just opened up a location here in Baltimore (just this month!) and eventually my group of friends is going to check it out and walk out about 23940823409 pounds heavier than when we walked in. It’s pricey but definitely worth it I think, especially if you’ve ever tried to buy a rack of lamb (ribs) at the grocery store.

• MightyBargainHunter writes about something I’ve advocated for a few years now, keep a journal while you’re learning something knew and you can make money with the journal (or just blogging about it!).
• Nickel shares his advice on how to make money in this stock market.
• Flexo shares his experience on how he got a great deal on bedroom furniture.
• FMF writes about co-signing loans and why it’s a terrible idea. TERRIBLE.
• Looks like JLP has something to say about Trent’s financial advice.
• Money, Matter, and More Musings wonders about being frugal.
• Jeremy takes a stab at a reader question about life insurance.
• Sun checked out Berkshire Hathaway’s portfolio and comes up with some investing ideas.
• Kids are expensive – you’ve been warned!
• Lazy Man joins the investing bandwagon and writes about market timing with 401k contributions.
• Ben also shares his thoughts on how you’d know when to invest in a down market.
• Over at My Retirement Blog, I posted a Twentysomething’s Quick Guide to Retirement, please let me know what you think of it.
• Cap shares a harrowing story about his home being burglarized, very scary stuff that happens every single day! Luckily only possessions were taken or damaged, no one was personally hurt which is definitely a positive (considering). It’s why we have insurance!
• Tricia shares with the world the value of dealing with her debt that I think is something everyone in debt should read. While it’d be nice to have it all POOF disappear, the journey itself has tremendous value. Where else can you get such transparency in emotion from someone about money? Nowhere, that’s why personal finance blogging is so popular.

No, Fogo De Chao didn’t pay me to post these pictures… I just think I’m hungry.
