Year end - time to empty out the piggy bank
Throughout the last 18 months I have accumulated quite a bit of cash in my piggy bank. While I do have a pretty cool piggy bank that I got from my Aunt and Uncle (even is personally engraved with Jacks’$) it doesn’t pay a whole lot of interest. In fact I lose money every day I keep money in my piggy bank due to inflation, so I figured it was time to empty them out and put them in my ING account.
Running a credit report on a 10 month old.
Now that may sound like a crazy idea, but my friend over at Financial Baby Steps just recently wrote an article about how identity theft is becoming more and more popular with kids and infants. The article referenced at Financial Baby Steps talks about a guy who somehow got a hold of a toddlers SSN and opened a couple of bank accounts and wrote over $19,000 in fraudulent checks.
I’ve been linked up at PFBlogs.org
Well I haven’t done a great job of getting other site to link to me, but I just found out that I have been linked up at PFBlogs.org, which is a really neat blog aggregator for personal finance blogs, best of all they don’t spam you with ads to view the content. Anyway thanks to PFBlogs.org for the link and best of luck to them, I believe they are fairly new, but their site is already one of the best sites I’ve seen. You basically only have to go to one site to stay on top of the personal finance community.

Comments on new site
Well I think I have pretty much everything close to where I would like it and I am really pleased with my new website. Please let me know what you think and if you have any suggestions I would love to hear them. (more…)
New Website
Well I have been slacking again as far as making regular posts, but I kind of have a half-way descent excuse. I’ve upgraded my website, so I had to transfer all of my old material over and get things set up at my new host. Hopefully this change will make it easier for me to stay up to date with my blog and give me more more control over how the content is presented to you. Anyway hope you like the new site and hopefully this gets me started in the right direction.
