Star Money Articles for the Week of January 2

Lots of good stuff out there in the financial blogosphere this week. I guess everybody is hitting the ground running in 2006.

Here are my favs for this week:

• Five Cent Nickel talks about filing a PayPal complaint as part of a bad shopping experience on eBay this Christmas.
• A couple reviews this week (in addition to my own) on Smart and Simple Financial Strategies for Busy People by Jane Bryant Quinn. Flexo at Consumerism Commentary reviewed it as did JLP at AllThingsFinancial. Which review do you like best?
• Blueprint for Financial Prosperity started a series on buying a car from eBay. Isn't that like buying a speedboat from Wal-mart? This should be a fun series to watch.
• Finally, a non-finance related post. Five Cent Nickel announced his newest adventure, a blog about raising four boys written by Nickel and Mrs. Nickel. If you're a parent of boys, you'll want to be sure to check it out.
