February 23, 2009 Link Payday
Welcome to our late-but-not-forgotten edition of the Link Payday for February 23, 2009. I thought that the comparison of customer service situations really merited running before the Link Payday, so now that that’s over, here we go. Let’s take a look at some of the best blog posts in the personal finance blogosphere over the past couple of weeks:
Ron over at The Wisdom Journal discusses How Freelancing is Different Than a Regular Job. As someone who is constantly interested in freelance gigs, this is a great read; yes, it requires more discipline to be a freelancer, and more hustle to make it pay off!
Her Every Cent Counts goes a little farther than me but has a lot of the same feelings I do when she gives her opinion on The Housing Bailout: It’s Unfair, It’s Unnecessary, It’s Ridiculous. I have a hard time feeling like it’s the right thing to do when so many people who made poor decisions have the possibility of being bailed out by their fellow taxpayers who didn’t make poor decisions with buying more house than they could afford.
Frugal Dad tries to make things simple for those struggling with credit cards and balances when he writes on Paying Off Credit Card Debt in Ten Simple Steps. It’s not easy to have the discipline to do it, but Frugal Dad tries to make the process as simple as possible.
Lynnae over at Being Frugal has a problem with DirecTV. It’s in several parts on her blog, but my favorite is her self-described rant that says It Might be Legal, But it Sure isn’t Ethical! This has certainly made me think twice about ever dealing with DirecTV.
Finally, JD over at Get Rich Slowly has an interesting question to pose when he decides to Ask the Readers: Is it Unethical to Work a Second Job? I found this a fascinating question, as a guy who has worked two jobs for many, many years.
And that’s your Link Payday for February 23, 2009!
