Friday’s Blog Highlight

by

I bet you all thought I forgot about it being Friday today! Truth be told, I almost did! My nose has been buried in work, except I took a small break to write about the letter from my pal, my credit card after I got my mail.

So, now that I am off work, I can highlight a blog for this week 🙂

This week’s blog is one that I can relate to, since our income never broke $30,000 until this year. There’s one post where the author mentions how things can happen and you have to choose who gets money. I know eactly what companies I can pay late without being assessed a fee 😉

He also gives some insight on the Rent-to-Own business. Make sure you read the comments on this one.

There’s also an article on the Poor Man’s Cell Phone. It’s the type of cell phone I have too 🙂

If you are looking to read the viewpoint of someone who doesn’t make much, but is making the most of what they have, check out Living Poor. Tom, I look forward to reading more from you. I think your voice is an important one in the personal finance blog-o-sphere.

Hey, Tricia…It’s Your Pal, Your Credit Card

by

Oh my gosh, I received probably the weirdest thing in the mail today from one of our credit cards. I think I would consider it a sneaky attempt to get you to use your card!

Because I’m not sure if I can put the wording in full here on my blog, I will give you the basic idea.

It’s a letter from my credit card. It’s saying that is misses me and we should do something together. Maybe go to a new fancy restaurant or go on a kayaking trip (fresh air will do it good). It’s telling me we should live life a little.

Here’s my response to my “pal”….

Live life a little? By paying for things that I cannot afford? I’m sure you are mightly lonely now since you haven’t been used in some time so please don’t take this too personal. I’m just choosing to pay cash for things so I don’t end up paying mega interest charges just to live a little now. Sorry…but I’m a little older now and a little wiser.

Anyone else have a message they would like to give to their “pals”?
