Friday Linkfest: The first one
Personal Finance. This is a round up of my favorite personal finance posts from the week:
I’ve Paid For This Twice Already struggles with having patience when paying off debt. I know that this is tough for me too. I want things to happen and I want them to happen now, but paying off debt happens so slowly. But as they say, it took about 6 years for us to rack up that debt, and it’s not going to disappear overnight.
WiseBread says that modern cleaning methods versus old school methods are both wasteful and expensive. We use disposable cleaning wipes and they are oh-so convenient. But it’s something I need to consider. On a side note, we just bought some of these last weekend, and I noticed that the Disinfectant Wipes don’t actually disinfect, according to the label.
FreeMoneyFinance earned over $700 last year from rewards. Not to shabby.
LazyManandMoney compares a Netflix subscription to renting at Blockbuster. As I mentioned previously we have gone a year without cable, and Netflix has made the transition much easier.
No Credit Needed says to call your credit card company and ask them to lower your interest rate, even if you have to call them every month until it happens.
Building a better blog. I felt it was appropriate to include a few links about blogging, to help me get this thing going.
Daily Blog Tips recommends not routing your RSS feed through feedburner. I currently have my feed routed through them, so it might be a good idea to reroute my feed, before I actually have any subscribers. (not a post from this week, but still important to this blog)
Copyblogger shares some writing tips from television, as well as an approach to developing good content. If this thing is going to make it I need to heed that advice and write some good articles.
