Welcome to the Friday Jet Fuel post on Money Propeller! Things are always happening in internet land and this is your chance to discover even more. To ensure that you’re coming along for the ride with Money Propeller, sign up for our monthly newsletter, that features a recap of our highlights for the month. (There’s a nifty box to sign up, over there –>)
A lot has happened in the last little bit! I gave the blog a face lift, which also made it mobile responsive. The previous theme was labeled as responsive, but it wasn’t, and that made me sad. This one is a lot cleaner looking! I am also switching these #Jetfuel posts to use InLinkz, which is a lot easier to use when you are adding links.
I am also planning a giant round up of Pinterest accounts to follow if you are looking for pins on money and money related topics. Send me an email to be included!
A Random Fact about Aviation
British Airways lost the luggage of an average 9 passengers on every jumbo jet flight in the first half of 2008, according to a study by the Association of European Airlines.

What We Talked About This Week
Monday was my Xperia Z2 Review: Aka What Sucks Hard About My Phone (and how to save AND profit on a phone, as a nice sideline)
Wednesday I admitted that I have a problem – I have a Compulsion to Fix Things in Other People’s Businesses
Thursday was a monster post of Money Travel Tips that you really can’t ignore of you’re going anywhere.
People Who Talked About Us
Sometimes, talking about other people is awesome. These people are awesome for talking about other people:
Melissa at Sunburnt Saver mentioned my 2015 Goals Post. (Sounds like hockey, no?)
Clever Dude likes How I Spent Money To Save Money – Thanks 🙂
What Other People Talked About
I’ve been throwing half-baked calculator ideas at PK for a little while now. One of his older ones shows how much people save by income. How do you stack up?
I’m sure you’ve all heard about the crazy couple on the Financial Facelift at the G&M this week, but in case you haven’t, Nelson tears them a new one.
Alicia is staking her turf as the creator of awesome infographics. Here’s one she made that compares after-tax income by province, for those who earn $50k.
A Pretty Thing on Amazon
Money is pretty useless if you leave it in your mattress. This Amazon affiliate link can hook you up, at least if you’re a student:
Join Amazon Student FREE Two-Day Shipping for College Students
See, they’ll hook you up now, so that you’re hooked later on. Amazon is like a drug dealer, kids.
Might as well take advantage while it’s free. (Note: The same advice does not apply to drugs. Just making sure we’re clear on that.)
Your Turn: Linky Party!
What is a Linky Party? It’s a tool that lets you link up your posts, and check out other people’s posts. Friday #Jetfuel features a linky party that is open (accepting links) for one week, Friday to Friday, each week. Make sure to come back and link up each week!
This is basically a no-rules linky! Posts generally have to be related to money. The end.
(I do reserve the right to remove stuff, at my discretion.) If you do link up, we would appreciate a link back to us, so that more people can find the linky and discover all of the great information that is out there. Also, go check out other people’s links and comments. No one wins if no one gets clicks!
How to Link Up Click on the “Click here to enter” below. It will ask you for a URL that goes directly to the post (http://moneypropeller.com/love-mini-fridge/ NOT http://moneypropeller.com), the title you want to use, an email address, and a photo. It gives you the option to select one of the pictures that is already on the post (and then crop it to 160×160), upload an image, or use a placeholder image.
That’s it! All you really need to do is copy and paste your URL in, and type a few things.
Once you’ve entered, please visit a few of the other links and comment on some posts!
