Just tidbits about money and finance.
From the monthly archives:
Dude. Tyler Cowen gets around. I don’t read his economic stuff. I just found a link to him at a friend’s blog. But now in the world of PF Bloggers, I traced some stuff and ended back here at this restaurant near my home which I have never tried before. But this certainly explains why [...]

Credit Bloggers has a good article about how late payments effect your credit score. It points to an article at Credit.com.
Nicole is spot on about college degrees. A nice examination of ‘good debt’. I am not convinced college tuition debt, nor the whole experience of college is for everyone.
Citibank Driver’s credit card analysis by Jonathan. [...]

I crossed a double yellow line in a small town last weekend. My mistake will cost me one point, which may not appear on my record, and $80.37. The 37 cents is for postage. I got the ticket out of state. The town sheriff was kind enough not to ticket me for speeding since I [...]

Normally I don’t comment or read the Consumerist too much, but I could not help this one article.
A direct link to Peoria Pundit. Get angry, people! Easy credit is not good for this country. It’s not good for the folks who shouldn’t have been loaned money. It’s not good for the banks that have to [...]

Ah. Travel. I haven’t been overseas since 1999. I once vowed that I’d go overseas once every 5 years. It seems I am long overdue, but next year a cousin in Korea gets married and I feel that it’s my opportunity to have a good time. Perhaps I will make a stop in Tokyo or [...]

I have added it to the Resources list on the right.
All credit for this discovery goes to Divorce to Financial Freedom, a compelling story of a [...]

I’m mulling this one over.
I’ve known for years that I had better increase my salary. I have made quite a few decisions to make that a reality. As I read this article, I’m not 100% sure what to think. I like my career right now and I made the choices to change what I was [...]

Did you know you can buy coverage with a homeowner’s policy? It’s about $25 a year. I’m sure there are all sorts of conditions on it, but I decided I would like to add it onto my homeowner’s insurance for a little protection.
After hearing this story, you have to wonder how your personal and private [...]

Claire of Tired but Happy has it available now.
It’s my first carni-festival submission in a while.
Let me point you at a couple I have enjoyed this week:
Young & Broke’s post on good and low-priced wine is worthwhile.
FMF on cancelling cable TV. I’m serious, kill your television.
Family CEO does savings sites reviews. Worthwhile if you are [...]

I am wondering how many single female, mid-30’s, childless PFBloggers there are out there. I often feel like PFBlogs and widely available PF articles are centered around two categories, people with families or young folks climbing out of college debt. Many of the messages out there are geared for married couples who have lots of [...]
