Sounds like a great contest. Did you find a vendor who waves the fee for an amex card? I recall my wife purchased one at the store and the fee was $5. You could also just send $250 via paypal.

Would be interested in seeing posts about saving for your first house, car, vacation etc. Many young adults out of college with first job will face these types of financial decisions.

I subscribed via RSS and added you as a Stumble friend.

The only thing that i know about money making is affiliate marketing.
Presently I am learning how to make money from it, I dint experiment it since i dint have that much money for spending on adwords. Presently I am gathering some tips.
So if you can, please write some killer tips on affiliate marketing.

Subscribed to the smallblogging blog with the same email.

I’d like to see a post about where a person in their 20s should be financially by the time they hit 30. Sort of a “what to aim for” post.

I’d like to see ways that 20’s can actually go about saving. It’s nice to say how important it is but it’s tough to do in your 20’s.

Thanks!

I’ve subscribed, stumbled, added you as a friend on SU, written a blog post:

http://thesugarbuzzproject.net/what-would-you-do-with-250/

also, I would like to see some articles about getting your spouse to help with financial tweaking, rather than just thinking you are a penny-nazi…advice on this would help…

signed up at smallblogging (waiting for the confirmation email…seems to be taking a while), and that would be every method of entry.

I only posted on one of my blogs. Is there a one blog limit?

I would like to see some book reviews of Suze Orman’s books… ESPECIALLY “THE MONEY BOOK FOR THE YOUNG, FABULOUS, AND BROKE.” (I think that’s the bible when it comes to getting yourself going financially in your twenties).

I would love to know how to balance saving for my retirement and my husband’s. My husband is 10 years older than me, and theoretically will be retiring much sooner than I will. I want to make sure that when it is my turn to stop working, I will really be able to. Retiring at the same time as him would be nice too, of course.

Subscribed to feed through Google Reader. Great blog! I would like to continue to see more stock tips on the blog. Also, you recommend saving, so why not provide a section where savings links can be shared (e.g. ING referral links)!

I have done all but the small blogging.com. It appears that the button to submit my email address is broken.

This isa great site here. I read several articles and like your approach. Since you are young and probably fairly recently married, you might want to address some content towards planning to get married or topics related to that. I am sure many 20 year olds would be interested in that. I look forward to reading more of your writings.

High Interest Savings


Hey everyone, one of the most important aspects of my savings is to make sure that every dollar I accumulate earns as much money as possible. I use ING Direct as my internet based high-interest savings account. They have great rates and is the easiest savings account I have ever used before. Do you know what you are earning on your savings? If not, check it out and then compare it with ING Direct. Most of you can definitely earn more interest in your money. Also, one of the best things about my ING Direct account is how easy it is to move money around to and from the account. Now is the time for you to implement ING Direct as a part of your savings strategy!
