I bet you all thought I forgot about it being Friday today! Truth be told, I almost did! My nose has been buried in work, except I took a small break to write about the letter from my pal, my credit card after I got my mail.
So, now that I am off work, I can highlight a blog for this week 
This week’s blog is one that I can relate to, since our income never broke $30,000 until this year. There’s one post where the author mentions how things can happen and you have to choose who gets money. I know eactly what companies I can pay late without being assessed a fee 
He also gives some insight on the Rent-to-Own business. Make sure you read the comments on this one.
There’s also an article on the Poor Man’s Cell Phone. It’s the type of cell phone I have too
If you are looking to read the viewpoint of someone who doesn’t make much, but is making the most of what they have, check out Living Poor. Tom, I look forward to reading more from you. I think your voice is an important one in the personal finance blog-o-sphere.

Wow! Thank you! I never saw this coming. Although I’m not as “poor” as a lot of others out there, it’s just my perspective on a household of 5 people with just over $17,000 a year coming in, and no credit.

Thanks for highlighting Tom’s blog. It is a real eye opener.
Keep up the great work!

Great blog to highlight! I’m going to be reading as my brother is married with a family of five kids and making not much more then Tom is.
Thanks for sharing and linking.
