Welcome to your Link Payday for September 5, 2008. As the kids head back to classes for the onset of another school year, let’s take a look at the best posts from the personal finance blogosphere of the last couple of weeks:
JD over at Get Rich Slowly discusses How to Win the Lottery–it’s not as glamorous as you might expect!
Here are Nine Things to do When the Going Gets Tough courtesy of Trent at The Simple Dollar. Desperate times call for desperate measures.
I cringed when I read a story about How Laziness and Stupidity Cost Me $60 Today at the Online Savings Blog. Lucky I live where I do–only one commercial airport!
The Frugal Duchess gives us some useful advice on How to Complain: Getting the Most from Customer Service Reps. Yes, I’ve had to do more than my share of complaining to get my Sprint issues resolved (thanks to a blog reader who assisted!) but it was quite an ordeal!
And finally, How Far Would You Go for $5? Paidtwice asks and tells in this great blog post!
And that’s your Link Payday for September 5, 2008!
Hello to those of you visiting from the Money Hacks Carnival, brought to you this week by $aving to Invest. Welcome!
I’d like to extend a warm aloha and mahalo to those of you who are visiting us on this Tuesday from the Festival of Frugality, hosted this week by Almost Frugal. Welcome, and if you like what you see, please consider subscribing to our RSS feed.
It’s Monday again, and we are welcoming those of you who are visiting from the Carnival of Personal Finance, this week hosted by One Caveman’s Financial Journey. Aloha, mahalo, and if you like what you see, please consider subscribing to our RSS feed.
I just wanted to say that I have a guest post over at Lynnae’s great Being Frugal blog today. If you happen to be visiting here via Being Frugal, aloha!
Welcome to your belated Link Payday for August 26, 2008. As the last days of summer unfold around us, let’s take a look at the best posts from the personal finance blogosphere of the last couple of weeks:
Frugal Dad weighs material possessions versus simplicity and finds that simplicity wins in his post entitled How to Live More Simply, and Why it is so Important. I constantly consider ways to simplify my complicated life as time goes on.
The Frugal Duchess discusses a necessity (water) and its extravagant sibling (bottled water) as she comes up with Thrifty Alternatives to Bottled Water: A National Campaign. Yes, bottled water is handy, but it’s expensive, and all that plastic can’t be great for the environment!
JLP over at All Financial Matters has a great point on the quality of things we buy when he says Warranties are Nice but What I’d Really Like is a QUALITY PRODUCT! Yes, it was nice for me to get a big credit on my Die Hard battery, but it would have been nicer if it hadn’t died when it die.
This is something I do, but JB over at Get Rich or Die Trying won’t do (anymore): Paying Bills with a Credit Card. I actually do this as much as I can, but I certainly can see some of JB’s points.
Finally, Mrs. Micah looks back at her time growing up and lays it on the line when she discusses What My Parents Did and Didn’t Teach Me About Credit and Money Management. I think her parents did pretty decently, better than mine did!
And that’s your Link Payday for August 26, 2008!
Another Monday, another carnival; welcome again to visitors from the Carnival of Personal Finance, brought to you this week by Broke Grad Student. If you like what you see, please consider subscribing to our RSS feed. Thanks!
I totally spaced the Link Payday on the 20th. I don’t like making excuses, but my feeling is I spaced it because my part time job, which pays me on the 5th and 20th of each month, has been frequently (including this past week) late in paying me (and my coworkers). I promise I will get one up in the next few days. In the meantime, back to our usual content!
I’m a bit down with a cold, but I wanted to make sure that I welcomed visitors from the Money Hacks Carnival and the Festival of Frugality, both of which are brought to us this week by Our Fourpence Worth. Welcome!
