I'm hoping people will be interested in this thread topic. I see lots of (rightful) complaining about hard economic times, but not a lot of helpful stuff in how to battle it and survive it. Hence, this thread.
NOTE: This thread is purposely placed in The Lounge, NOT Hyde Park. It is intended to be helpful, via posts of questions, comments and resources. What that means is that arguing politics or bemoaning fates does NOT belong here. Please respect that intention.
There's a lot of websites out there, but one of my favorite is Consumerist.com. It's name may be somewhat of a misnomer, because while it does have a lot of information (good prices, recall info, scammer warnings) on buying things, it has some *excellent* info on personal finance.
A sampling:
*This one is OUSTANDING. Everyone should be doing this. It's so easy... and so effective.
So - do you have any tips? tricks? tools? success stories? cautions?
I dunno - are people interested in this? Guess we'll find out.
