July 5, 2009 Link Payday
Welcome to our on-time-for-once edition of the Link Payday. This day after United States Independence Day, we take a look at some of the best posts on personal finance blogs of the last few weeks:
This is a conversation that comes up fairly often: how much or what to give for a wedding gift? Lynnae over at Being Frugal asks the readers the question in You Tell Me: Favorite Frugal Wedding Gift. This is a tough one to tackle and opinions seem to vary wildly, so thanks for taking it on!
Blogging Away Debt tackles a close to home subject (everyone in this state is affected, either directly or through a friend or family, by the crunch here which is possibly leading to furloughs or layoffs) when she talks about Understanding Government Spending… Since she’s a government employee herself, she has a view that’s right in the midst of this controversy.
Ron at The Wisdom Journal might be talking to me when he says Having Too Many Goals is Like Having None. Yes, I have a lot of goals, but I’m hoping they’re not too many; I do, however, run out of energy and not get everything done the way I want them too. I’ll have to consider that a bit.
Spilling Buckets tells us 10 Things I Wish I Knew as a First Time Homebuyer. Considering that they just purchased their home, I think they’re far ahead of the game; after all, I wish I knew a lot of things as a first time fill-in-the-blank only months or years later!
And finally, David over at My Two Dollars tells us How to Fix a Mistake On Your Credit Report. I‘m hoping I can finally get one of the bureaus (after years of trying) to fix a mistake on mine (they think I lived somewhere in California–I’ve never lived off this island!).
And that’s your Link Payday for July 5, 2009!
