Posts I Enjoyed Last Week

I like mail-in rebates and I have used a lot of them to get some pretty good deals for myself or make a few bucks by selling them on Amaozn.com. I am not against rebates. If I can get the stuff I want at an afforable price and get the rebates I am entitiled to even after a couple of months of delay, I don’t see any problem of that. To see how to get the rebate checks you deserve, check out the post from Silicon Valley Blogger.

Jeremy at Generation X Finance is having some guests to run the show and one of the articles is College Money-Saving Tips from Complete Sports. The tips, in my opinion, don’t have to be for college students.

For frugal living, nothing is too small to be ignored. Kirby on Finance looks at how small things can add up to a big monthly bill and shows us how to be frugal by stoping nickel and diming himself into the poor house.

Early last week, I checked the state of my credit cards and one conclusion I got is using credit cards responsibly,then the credit score will take care of itself. Well, I am not the only one in the past week who had some reflections on credit card usage. Andy at Money Walk also lists eight reasons why he prefers credit cards over cash and says “GO PLASTIC!”

Finally, NCN has a nice piece on some common mistakes (10 to be precise) one should avoid for one who is trying to reduce debts and I like the idea of “Try not to skimp on the emergency fund.” No one wants to be in a situation of in debt and not prepared for the unexpected.
