Looking to buy a new/used car at a dealer? There’s a good collection of tips at http://www.tommychang.net/2005/06/new-car-buying-guide.htm. I really agree with getting financing at a bank or credit union first. When you walk in with existing financing the dealer knows you mean business, AND have a built-in spending ceiling.
A reader recently contacted me and asked if we could do some kind of ‘Ask the Wealthy Bloggers’ posts. I thought it was a good idea so here is how we’ll operate: post a question in the comments of this post. Jeremy and/or I will pick questions and write our answers in follow-up posts.

Yesterday I was working away when I got a call from my mother: my maternal grandmother lay dying in the ICU of the local hospital and if I hurried I could say my goodbyes. It was a lowsy accent on a lowsy week that included getting a nasty case of food poisoning.
So what does that [...]

There is a nice anecdote [...]
I’m sure you all have read my post on The Ultimate Credit Card Repayment Program and my post on Ordering Debts
for Repayment, and then found yourself saying ‘That’s great Mike, but what I really need is a nice tool with fancy graphs that lets me enter in all my debts and have it automatically [...]
I’ve done some cleanup in the aggregator, deleting a couple of inactive blogs.
If there is a blog you read that would would like to have in the aggregator, let me know!
