This past week has been great here at SuburbanDollar. I have enjoyed kicking off my Back to the Basics series and am loving the fact that people seem to be enjoying the articles. Right now I should have four more topics to develop for next week and then we will see from there. In addition to working on the Back to the Basics series I have started back up running again. Running has been something I enjoyed since I was in junior high recently however I have fallen off the wagon and quit running. My decision to get back into running was spurred by my desire to run a full marathon and I hope to accomplish that goal in March of 2010. My secret project I mentioned last week is a blog, Suburban Running, where I chronicle my journey from a sedentary life to a marathon runner. Hop on over there and check it out, and if you are really adventurous subscribe to the feed. Enough about me, on with the posts of the week:
@modertightwad asks “What is an Emergency.” An in depth look at when you should or shouldn’t dip into your emergency fund.
@stephonee can appartenly stuff an entire apartment into an Oldsmobile. She talks about how to pack your stuff into your own car. If I tried to accomplish this task I would have to be the proud owner of an 18 wheeler.
@centsiblelife would probably have a hard time moving her stuff now that she is going from a two to a one car household. It wouldn’t really save me any money at this point to do this, both our cars are paid for, but I can definitely see the advantages. Isn’t America the only place where two car households are common?
@heyagainlando says “Think Twice Before Settling Your Credit Card Debt” I fully agree. Think about the ramifications on your life anytime you are considering asking for a reduction in the amount of money you owe a company. They have to treat that difference as a charge off on their books and they are going to make certain the credit bureau knows what went down.
@fiscalfizzle posted a great list of 55 things you can do to simplify your finances. I love lists, especially ones that help me to simplify your life.
