Editor’s Picks

  • Silicon Valley Blogger from The Digerati Life shares ways to Get The Best Home Loan Rates With These Tips. As always this sound financial advice boils down to one concept: manage your debt responsibly!
  • I love the Tightwad Gazette books, as so does Heather Levin from The Greenest Dollar. She shares 15 tips that might otherwise have been forgotten in Frugal Tips From The Tightwad Gazette. My favorite (although perhaps not that practical) involves plastic six pack soda pack rings to make a hammack…
  • Madison from My Dollar Plan presents 10 Financial Tips for New Grads with reasonable advice on getting insurance quickly and following your heart and dreams. OK, maybe that last one is more romantic than reasonable!
  • Got 5 minutes? Then watch this video from Jim from Bargaineering: Video: Drawing Your Cashflowchart. I like videos, as you can often share more information than people would be willing to read through, and Jim presents this information very well.

Visit Almost Frugal for more recommended quotes with a personal comment by Kelly on why you should read them.
