August 9, 2009 Link Payday
Welcome to your late but ready now Link Payday for August 9, 2009. Let’s not take up any more time before checking out the best of the personal finance blogosphere over the last couple of weeks:
For something fun, Frugal Dad put together his Top Ten Songs About Money–The Frugal Dad Soundtrack. Funny, funny, funny.
JLP over at All Financial Matters asks Are Your Credit Cards’ Minimum Payments Going Up? It appears that some folks are having the minimum on their credit card payments going from two to five percent. While I don’t advocate keeping a balance on your cards, if you do, this could more than double what you’re required to pay and put a serious dent in your budget!
Beks over at Blogging Away Debt writes a letter about her School Tuition Nightmares. As a former undergraduate and graduate student, I can remember the financial struggles to get through those times–but I’m glad I did it.
My favorite personal finance librarian blogger, Mrs. Micah, tells us Where Your Library Fines Go as well as how to support your public library. I am a big fan of the public library, so I love to do things to support them when I can (but as she says, fines are not helping).
Finally, my buddy Ron over at The Wisdom Journal asks Who is the Fool in Your Life? Interestingly, it’s not about someone who is the opposite of smart.
And that’s our Link Payday for August 9, 2009!
Glad you’re a fan of the library. You can always ask whether the fines help them or the government–there are a few where it does. But otherwise you might as well help out by returning the books on time.
