Weekend Readings Over My Cup of Tea
by Mr Credit CardOk – time to gather some interesting posts around the pf blog world.
First, Don’t let you credit card ruin your debt reduction is a reminder not to let anything stop you from your end goal. Hey, I love my credit cards, but if you are not in control, then you’d better listen to The Happy Rock.
Debt Free Revolution discusses how to get out of your consumer debt with – guess what? with a budget. Nothing fanciful, how how often do we miss on the basics.
Mrs Micah wonders when to offer financial advice. Well, all I would say is rather than advice, share your experience and only to those really willing to listen.
A new one – Emily from Credit Cards.com highlights 2 new cards on her blog, 2 in her own words “sinful” credit cards – one of them is actually the Hooters credit card. It seems they accept only those with good credit! I wonder what it really says about a person (more like a guy) who actually uses a hooters credit card!
My good friend SVB has also kind made a pre-announcement that she is quitting her day job and I can only guess she has made a real success with her wonderful blog.
Earlier in the week, she also posted a lissst of 10 free tools to help you get a handle on your personal finance. How she managed to miss out of my wonderful (obviously biased) cash back credit card comparison calculator is beyond me! Lunch is on her should we ever meet!
I’ll end off with congratulating Trent from The Simple Dollar for Quitting his day job and focusing on his blog. Well, when a pf blogger quits his job, you know that he or she does not just talk the talk about pf, but actually walks the walk.
Carnivals
I also participated in the following carnivals :
Carnival of Debt Reduction #127 by Paid Twice.
Carnival of Personal Finance #140 – Prison Break Edition at the Financial Blogger.

I’m glad you enjoyed my post on sinful credit cards! Pretty wild, huh? I also wonder those cards say about a person…I’d feel a little funny if I was on a date with a guy and he whipped out his Hooters credit card to pay!

Here’s a personal credit card fraud tale of woe with GoDaddy and FirstUSA. Really ruined my week
