blog about debt

Posted by Stacy on Wednesday, August 27, 2008 9:52 AM

I have recently become inspired to begin blogging about finances. There is a lot of information out there on the web about all kinds of great savings and financial advice and blogging has become a very popular method of sharing ideas and information with complete and total strangers and I really enjoying hearing other people's take on things. I find it helpful and I also find that it helps if we all feel that we are together, especially in our endeavors to stretch the dollar. I have read quite a few blogs that I have found very helpful for instance just the other day I was reading this very informative financial blog at www.thoughtsonfinance.com. This blog has a great article on it that tells about ways that you can save money on gasoline, which includes some really helpful things like making sure your tires have plenty of air in them, which honestly I hadn't even thought of until I read it. Sometimes you actually know the information, but still somehow you overlook some of the obvious things that you can do to save money.

With finances on the brain, I began to think about debt and what I could really do to take some positive steps in improving my financial situation and one of the big things that I came up with was finding a way to get out of debt. I found some great information on this blog about debt, that included information about saving money in addition to ways to pay down your debt and improve your credit score. This blog at www.thoughtsondebt.com has some very helpful information and is a really great site. I can't wait to see what else they post on here.

I check back often on blogs that I find helpful, because with blogs, usually the person posts on them pretty regularly and I like to see what information they give me next. Now granted some blogs are not really worth my time. I mean some people just really want to rant and rave without any solutions. I really like the blogs that have a positive spin on them, with actions that you can take to improve your life. After all if all I wanted to hear was ranting about the price of things I could just listen to myself and other whine all the time.
