5 Money Lessons I Learned From My Chiropractor

Written by on · 6 Comments

Guest Post by: Kris Bickell. Photo Credit: Podknox If you’ve ever had back pain, you know that it is a constant struggle. Some days you feel free good. Other days you feel the pain. And you’re always only one stumble, bump, or bend from another painful episode. Unfortunately, for many people it’s the same with money and credit card debt – you have good days, and bad days, but you’re just one unexpected car repair bill, medical expense, or home repair from more financial pain. Sure, the bills may disappear for a while, but the struggle to pay off your […] Read more »

A Contrarian View of Credit Reports and Credit Scores

Written by on · 17 Comments

Photo Credit: Adam_T4 Credit reports and credit scores are useful tools for those interested in estimating the credit worthiness of others. Many of us have worked hard to establish credit and keep our scores in the upper range so we’re viewed favorably. This indicates to others that we’re a good credit risk. It’s an important accomplishment because we know that having an undesirable credit rating can: adversely affect our ability to get a loan; result in being declined an offer of employment in certain job sectors; prevent us from qualifying as a tenant; and, interfere with being issued a security […] Read more »

Written by on · 5 Comments

This is a guest post from the folks at 21st Century Insurance. Perfect timing too because I just renewed my auto insurance and saved myself by using two of the below methods. My total savings for 6 months of coverage dropped by nearly $50. I raised my deductible and change my coverage to better reflect our situation. $50 may not seem like much, but it brought our final insurance quote below $400 for the six month term. I’ve been paying over $400 since I have been with my provider so I was really excited to hear it dropped some more. […] Read more »

Hey guys! I was planning on writing a post for you today, but as I started writing a really bad thunderstorm hit us. My power is flickering and there’s no telling whether or not we will lose our power. Instead of taking a chance I thought I would share this great guest post from my buddy Chris Moore from Fickle Finance.

Show Chris some love and I will […] Read more »

This is a guest post written by Jesse from Personal Finance Firewall. For those of you that haven’t heard, Brad, a few other bloggers around here, and I joined a weight loss challenge back in May.

Written by on · 15 Comments

Hello everyone! As you know I am still on vacation, but wanted to still give you something to chew on for the week. Kris who writes for debt-tips.com, submitted this guest post, and although he and I disagree on debt consolidation, we both agree that becoming and staying debt free is a good thing. I also try not to flush people out just because I disagree with them on a few issues, as I feel that there is most of the time something of value to be heard. For the most part, I think Kris has given some good advice. […] Read more »
