Weekly Highlights - July 27, 2007
Here are some of the my favorite posts from the previous week:
- The Simple Dollar answers a reader who asks if it is better to pay off debts now or avoid future debt.
- Mighty Bargain Hunter shows that debt troubles are not just for low wage earners. Some of the high wage earners I know are in this exact position. They think retirement savings are a “middle class” problem.
- Free Money Finance shows thathome prices may be falling faster than the statistics show.
- Five Cent Nickel is looking for the very best 529 plans. I am currently participating in the Illinois plan he mentions and am very excited about their decision to switch to Vanguard index funds. Vanguard + index funds = super low fees.
- Consumerism Commentary talks about the team experience in the University of Phoenix MBA program. I always wondered what the team experience would be like in a 100% online class. After reading his post, I am very happy I decided to obtain an MBA the normal way.
- All Financial Matters asks if employers should reduce 401(k) investment options to encourage employee contribution by reducing complexity. I added my two cents in the comments.
- No Credit Needed has some great ideas for speeding up your debt reduction and increasing your savings. All the ideas are common sense, but are often overlooked.
