Week In Review – August 16, 2009
In the News August 16th, 2009Another week and yet another great round of posts by my partners!
Ben at Banker, Saver discussed how to develop a CD ladder. This is a good strategy to keep part of your money liquid, as your CD’s mature at different times. As always, Ben does a great job of explaining how a CD ladder works. However, at the current rates CD’s are yielding, I suggest looking a putting your cash into a rewards checking account instead.
There was a post Thursday on Debt Loans about how to make credit card debt history. The author put his own twist on what is practically a “tried and true” method. I like how he reminds readers to keep reading financial blogs, because that is a great way to learn personal finance!
Olivia at Independent Beginnings made note that Student Bloggers was giving away an HP laptop! The winner was announced on Saturday, and (like always) I didn’t win:(
My Life Finance posted a very interesting article titled “Swoopo: The Auction Scam.” In case you aren’t familiar, Swoopo is kinda like eBay on crack cocaine. From what I hear, the auctions are cutthroat and kinda confusing? To learn more, read the original post because the author does a good job exposing it.
Wallet Wise featured a post on positive signs in the housing market. This has been in the news a lot recently. I personally feel that most markets are still way overpriced and further correction is needed. However, never underestimate the ability of the real estate industry to re-inflate the bubble.
