This weeks photo was inspired by all the time we have recently been spending installing our paver patio and back yard!
In my Weekly Wisdom posts I look to accomplish the following:
- Weekly round up of 5 or more articles that caught my attention & provide wisdom for my readers
- A list of places that have linked to my articles around the web
- Listing Personal Finance Carnivals for all to enjoy
Today is the 2nd edition & start of “Weekly Wisdom in Personal Finance”. I hope you enjoy…
This Weeks Articles of Personal Finance Wisdom…
- Five Money Dilemmas and What I’d Do – by Free Money Finance
CNN Money recently wrote a post titled, “Do the right thing in a recession” where they listed 5 common money dilemmas and how we should react to them. Personally… I like FMF’s answers better! - Rule #4: Eliminate (and Avoid) High Interest Debt – by Trent Hamm of The Simple Dollar
Recently — in response to a reader question – Trent came up with a list of fourteen basic “rules” that summarize his money & life philosophy. He is presenting his rules as a weekly series, This week Trent counts the ways in which high interest debt (and even low interest debt) is a terrible idea. This spoke to me… as you may remember I also calculated my own Interest Amount Paid in order to establish a proper relationship with my debt. - Best Financial Calculators! – by J. Money of Budgets Are Sexy
This is an AWESOME list of financial calculators that encompasses everything from “When will I be debt free?” to “Which online broker is best for me?” Above providing us with his list of 15 useful calculators, JM also gives us a link to 3 other similar lists! - How Credit Card Companies And Credit Repair Firms Deceive Consumers – by Pinyo of Moolanomy
Pinyo reminds us that, “In the credit card world, scam operators are taking money from innocent customers without adding value, misrepresenting claims and simply performing shoddy service.” He goes on to encourage us by offering up a few excellent ways avoid being susceptible to such scams. - Your Take: What Would You Tell Yourself 10 Years Ago? – by Jim Wang of Bargaineering
This is a fun post where Jim asks us to consider what we would tell ourselves if we could travel back in time 10 years. Oh my word!! I would tell myself so many things… what would you say to your younger self?
