Personal Finance Linkfest

One of the great success stories about personal finance blogging was when NCN got himself out of around $11,000 in debt (two car notes and some credit card debt) within a year (April 05 to Feb 06) and he posted a list of all his own personal debt-related posts during the time period. If you’re in debt and you enjoy reading pfblogs for either ideas or inspiration, this set of posts is definitely a good place to start. Another blog I’d recommend is Tricia’s Blogging Away Debt who has cleared away $12k and only has $25k in debt left.

Should you contribute to a Roth IRA in one lump sum? If you feel particularly passionate one way or the other, please share your thoughts with Flexo over at Consumerism Commentary.

Lastly, I think that show Identity is stupid but I’ve only watched one episode… if you ever find yourself down to three people and you still have some of your lifelines, read Lazy Man’s tip on how to walk away a millionaire (or at least a half-millionaire… which is like a quarter millionaire after taxes).

Enjoy the holidays!
