The gent who writes “You’ve Been Haacked“, a technology blog, recently encountered a telling truth: free money isn’t always free, even when the bank promises you it is. Repeatedly.
His story is located here. In it, he describes what happened:
We received one of those offers where we can take a $10,000 loan for 6 months with [...]
One area where you can sometimes save a few bucks is auto insurance. Car insurance is a necessary evil, but you can save a few dollars while maintaining coverage.
The first area I found when saving on insurance was when I switched to insurance offered through my auto club. Not only can the auto club tow [...]

I decided that it would be handy in maintaining this blog to have a nice aggregate of all the financial blogs I have found, so I set one up.
So far there are about [...]
Well folks, some of you asked for a discussion of good debt vs. bad debt, and here we are. Susan Low’s first guest post on the subject is online, and I thought I would chime in with my opinion as well.
I personally agree that there is good debt and bad debt, although somewhere along [...]
I’d like to thank Sue for writing our first guest post: Who Gave Debt a Bad Name? (yes, the title is mine, sorry Sue!)
We’re looking for more guest contributors.
