Blogging Away Debt

Thank You Congress for Putting Pressure on the Credit Card Companies!

Much to the dismay of credit card companies, Congress held a conference today to discuss some of the tricky fees and penalties that credit cards impose on customers (not to mention the gobbely-gook in the fine print – I don’t even understand all of it, do you?).

Of course, banks and credit card companies are not happy. As for me, those fees and insane interest rates make me angry. And when I read stories of people trapped with high interest rates after one mistake, it makes me sad.

For more details on this, check out this nice post from Andrea at Wisebread. Make sure you check out the video at the bottom of the post. It’s priceless 🙂

NCN and Leigh Ann on Jean Chatzky’s Oprah and Friends Radio

by Tricia

I’d like to give a little shout out here to NCN of the No Credit Needed Blog and Leigh Ann of Save Leigh Ann. They were interviewed by Jean Chatzky on the Oprah and Friends radio show about blogging away their debts as was discussed in the New York Times article.

I’ve listened to their interviews, and they both did an awesome job. They did the personal finance blogging community proud.

To find out how you can listen to the interviews, check out NCN’s post here.
