Well, the latest Carnival of Personal Finance is up, and it’s a doozy! My post, Money Advice for the College Student, Part III is included. I was on the fence about whether I should post Part I or Part III. I have been told that Part III is the strongest, so that’s why I chose [...]

Comments (5)Amazon.com Visa – Is There a Catch?
I’ve been meticulously checking the sites that my traffic has been coming from the last few days, so that I can thank all of the people that have been linking me. It’s a tad bit on the obsessive side, but I want to make sure people know how grateful I am. While doing this, I [...]

Upromise – Easy College Savings
Upromise is another one of those companies that I simply adore. It’s a free service that helps you save money for college. If you’re not familiar with the program, it goes a little something like this: you register your credit, debit, and grocery savings cards with them, and when you make qualified purchases (in the [...]
Welcome New York Times Readers!
I must admit, I’m blushing.

Money Advice for the College Student – Part II
(Read Part I of this series) Money is friggin scary. At least, that’s what my friends keep trying to tell me. They shove their fingers in their ears and yell “LA LA LA LA LA LA” whenever the topic comes up. Strangely enough, they tend to carry a bunch of this “scary money” right in [...]

Favorite Free Ebooks: WOWIO
In the spirit of saving money, I often chase “free” offers up and down the coastlines. My friends refer to this as “cheap,” but I like to think of it as “nyah-nyah-nyah-nyah, I got a free t-shirt and you didn’t!” Mostly, free stuff isn’t worth the battle, though.

It makes it hard for me, because I spend most of my time reading personal finance blogs, or personal finance books, or just thinking about money in general. It creeps [...]
