This is a round-up of some of the best articles written by personal finance bloggers over the past week. I've decided to name this the "Back to Basics" edition because I think that much like our New Years resolutions, we sometimes forget why we started and lose our way.<br /> <br /> Editor's Choice:<br /> I was really inspired by <a href="http://www.debtkid.com/" >Debt Kid's</a> post on how <a href="http://www.debtkid.com/getting-discouraged" >discouraged</a> he feels. Sometimes the path is long and we lose our way, but if you get back on the road it will be worth it in the end. <br /> <br /> Changing gears, Money Beagle presents <a href="http://www.moneybeagle.com/2010/04/check-out-my-small-feet.html" >Check Out My Small Feet</a> posted at <a href="http://www.moneybeagle.com/" >Money Beagle</a>, because bigger isn't always better.<br /> <img class="serendipity_image_right" width="150" style="float: left; border: 0px; padding-left: 5px; padding-right: 5px;" src="http://yesiamcheap.com/uploads/People/buscartoon.serendipityThumb.jpg" alt="" /><br /> Just because I thought it was hilarious, Len Penzo presents <a href="http://lenpenzo.com/blog/id1136-5-crazy-ideas-that-resulted-in-million-dollar-paydays.html" >5 Crazy Ideas That Resulted in Million Dollar Paydays</a> posted at <a href="http://lenpenzo.com/blog" >LenPenzo.Com</a>. <br /> <br /> Finally, because I think we all need different streams of income, Surfer Sam presents <a href="http://www.surfersam.com/articles/start-a-new-business-with-no-money.htm" >NEW !! 57 New Businesses to Start With No Money</a> posted at <a href="http://www.surfersam.com" >Surfer Sam and Friends</a>. <br /> <br /> <br /> <b>RULE #1: IF YOU DON'T HAVE IT, DON'T SPENT IT</b><br /> Adam Williams presents <a href="http://www.rabbitfunds.com/2010/04/6-more-ways-to-stop-overspending-and-save-money/" >6 More ways to stop overspending and save money</a> posted at <a href="http://www.rabbitfunds.com" >RabbitFunds.com</a>. <br /> <br /> Joe Plemon presents <a href="http://personalfinancebythebook.com/how-minimum-credit-card-payments-will-keep-you-in-debt-forever/" >How Minimum Credit Card Payments Will Keep You in Debt Forever</a> posted at <a href="http://personalfinancebythebook.com" >Personal Finance By The Book</a>. <br /> <br /> David R.
