It’s been a busy week for me, and it seemed like it would never end. Amazingly, it’s Friday, and that means it’s time for my weekly look at some of the more interesting blog posts of the week from the MoneyBlogNetwork and beyond.
Free Money Finance doesn’t like rebates, and provides us a new reason via a post on Consumerist. They point out an interesting bit about a registered patent for a rebate system from Circuit City. At the beginning of the year, I shared my opinion about rebate scams.
Jim from Blueprint for Financial Prosperity always tips with cash, and inspired quite a discussion. I tip with whatever is the most convenient for me, and I likely tip more when I pay with a credit card.
Five Cent Nickel remarks on a new house-selling television show. AllFinancialMatters outlines the differences between “fee-based” and “fee-only” financial planners. Mighty Bargain Hunter wrote about Facebook.
Ramit from I Will Teach You to be Rich went to high school with the kid who is now facing foreclosure to the tune of $2.2 million. This issue has been all over the blogosphere, but as one of Casey’s “friends,” Ramit shows that right before Casey announced his financial woes, he was trying to sucker money from his so-called friends. Robert Kiyosaki, Casey’s hero, even got quite a bit of exposure at Casey’s expense.
That’s it for the round-up this week. Be sure to tune in to the Carnival of Personal Finance on Monday, being hosted by City Girl’s Financial Blog. (Bloggers can submit their favorite article from this week at BlogCarnival.)
