Patrick wrote up a nice list of how credit cards can be good for you. Don’t take this as me telling you that you should use credit cards. It’s a personal decision and I wouldn’t go there. I think each of us has to figure that out once we take a look at the for and against sides of the story. Patrick gave a compelling argument for using them. For views against using credit cards, read No Credit Needed’s blog.

Reggie asks, “What is Wealth to You?” Pretty interesting how he compares values between his culture and his girlfriend’s.

Jim spills the beans and shares with everyone 7 unwritten, often forgotten credit card secrets.

I hope you enjoy these articles and have a great weekend. Me? I think I’m going to be in bed for a very large part of it. I’m still pretty sick 🙁

I think the beginning of the school year sickness will be an annual ritual in my household. First, my son goes back to school and picks up a germ and brings it home. Then my husband gets a little sick. Then I get full-blown sick. It literally hurts to think.

So, no real post for today. Instead I’ll make a little announcement because even though I am sick, I am still excited for next week. Why? Because I’m going to be having an awesome giveaway. A company gave me five of something to give away.

I’m probably going to spill the beans before then, because I am the worst when it comes to things like this. I love giving things away! Especially when the product can help you keep track of your finances.

Oops…just gave a clue…see what I mean? 🙂

Anyways, since the weekend is almost here, I want to devote a full work-week to the giveaway to give everyone a chance to read about it. Make sure you check back next week!
