No matter what your point of view on the health care reform bill, there’s a pretty good chance that it will be law for at least a little while. So, it makes sense to try and digest all the stuff that is in it.
I don’t know about you, but I don’t intend to read a [...]
Maybe it’s just because of the impending spring-like weather. But, it seems like I’ve seen a large number of fitness related posts on many of the personal finance sites that I read. Which made me pose the question. Do fitness and frugality go together?

Almost a year ago, I released the Beating Broke Guide to your Credit Score. Since then, a lot has happened and it seems to me that your credit score could become more important than ever as we recover from this economic disaster. Previously, I had it set up such that you had to sign up [...]
Here’s some great articles from around the personal finance blogosphere this last week.
Money Beagle talks about When Saving Money on Groceries Isn’t Necessarily a Good Thing. I’ve made a similar argument many times. Saving Money does not always equal less spending.
I think Free From Broke likes Health Savings Accounts. What do you think? Speaking from [...]
Let me begin by saying that I don’t see any real value in buying a car new. You’d be better off waiting a year or two and buying the same model after the initial devaluation happens. If you insist, however, and you have to choose between a cash back rebate and 0% financing, here’s how [...]
