Announcements
I had my first article published at Wise Bread, where I share some basic investing tips for any market. I hope you’ll check it out!
I’ve also noticed that a lot more corporate blogs in the field of personal finance are popping up. Here are a few I’ve become acquainted with: The Wallet (WSJ blog), Credit Karma blog, the Thrive blog, the Mint blog, the Lending Club blog, and the newest one I’ve stumbled on — the Billshrink blog (with awesome design and entertaining content, I may add)! There are many more such sites, and I’ll mention them as and when I encounter them around the web.

And who doesn’t need tips on being frugal today. Heard about a family losing their house today.
Living debt free is the phenomenon of having credit available, using it wisely, saving religiously and planning accordingly. Some financial gurus explain that living debt free means having no debt at all, but the definitions of ‘debt free’ range from not having any debts to using credit wisely and productively and controlling your debt. Any family can lead a debt free lifestyle by having a committed frugal household than plans its budget well.
Thanks for including me!
I just heard about a cousin of mine who lost his job.
We can all be a little more frugal, regardless of our job or housing situation.
Thanks for the mention, Digerati. Does this mean you’re going to be doing a guest post for us next? Come on…you know you want to. *grins*
Thanks Matt, for such a nice invitation! Yes, it would be great to get the chance to guest post for my favorite blogs. I hope I get that opportunity to do so sometime. When my schedule clears out a little perhaps?
I found your blog on google and read a few of your other posts. I just added you to my Google News Reader. Keep up the good work. Look forward to reading more from you in the future.
These debt consolidation services also can help you reduce your debt and act as your agent to help negotiate terms to settle your debt for what you owe. If you are very behind on your payments, or have credit lines that are in default and have tons of fees in addition to your original debt, these consolidation services can negotiate to settle your debt for pennies on the dollar. In many cases that can halve or even reduce your debt by up to a third of what you owe!
You are not obligated to use a consolidation service to help you find debt relief. They are paid professionals that deal with difficult situations on a daily basis. So when I am asked how do debt consolidation services work, the best answer is that they are there to help, however they can.
