Hey everyone! It’s finally Saturday. It was definitely a busy week at work so I’m glad to kind of relax. I’m getting my haircut today, which I definitely feel like I need. And then I’m doing some house shopping as well. We’re trying to price out the dining room (table, chairs, new light fixture), new curtains and a couple of other things that I’ve been putting off forever.

I have a lot planned for the rest of the weekend also. My favorite thing planned for this weekend? We’re looking at a wedding venue tomorrow! And I’m pretty sure it’s the one we’re going to choose 🙂

I’m still looking for treadmill recommendations! Has to be reliable for 3 people and preferably under $1,000. Any help?

This week I decided to dedicate my link love posts to only other posts that were about freelancing. A lot of you have been emailing me lately (especially the past couple of weeks) about tips and everything else. While I still have many more extra income posts in the works, for now you should check out the ones below! Also, please make sure to read my Ways to Make Extra Income post if you haven’t yet.

I have a Precor treadmill. Bought it used (but like new) on Craigslist seven years ago, & put a ton of miles on it. Still works perfectly. Good luck!

Hi Michelle. I subscribe to Consumer Reports magazine and the newest edition just came yesterday. In it, they tested treadmills! Here are the ones closest to your budget (they're all folding models):

"ProForm Pro 2000" brand, $1300, scored an 81 out of 100.
"NordicTrack Commercial 1750" brand, $1500, scored a 79 out of 100.
"LifeSpan TR4000i" brand, $1700, scored a 78 out of 100.
"Smooth 7.35" brand, $1600, scored a 77 out of 100.

The following ones are the runners up (also folding models):

"NordicTrack C900 Pro" brand, $1000, scored a 78 out of 100.
"AFG 3.1 AT" brand, $1000, scored a 77 out of 100.
"ProForm Power 995" brand, $1000, scored a 75 out of 100.
"ProForm Performance 600" brand, $800, scored a 74 out of 100.
"Horizon T202" brand, $800, scored a 73 out of 100.

The best one they recommended was a "Precor 9.31" brand, (I believe your first commenter mentioned this brand), $4000, scored an 85 out of 100. Good luck!

We don't have room in our place for a treadmill, but I wish we did. Interested to hear more about the place you chose for your wedding venue!
