The Buzz About PF Buzz

I know a boat load of you pf bloggers are already using PF Buzz (around 200 at publish) but I thought I would try and convince those last remaining few out there to get with the program. As well as re-ignite some who may have signed up and never really used the service. You know who you are.

In case you didn’t already know, PF Buzz is a “social bookmarking site that focuses on sharing the best personal finance and money articles…made by a personal finance blogger (Pinyo from Moolanomy) for personal finance bloggers (You and Me).” Forget Digg. We’ve got our own social site now. Bottom line: It’s a fun site if you’re into personal finance and it has positive benefits for most everyone that gets involved. Check out the PF Buzz Blog and Forums for a little extra buzz.

Best Of: July 2008

July is officially over. It’s been another busy month. I had a lot going on personally and here on the blog: we took a week or two to do our mid-year financial check-up, we paid off one of our car loans, learned about some frugal vacations we could take, did a book review of (Not) Keeping Up With Our Parents, shared some frugal things to do in Dallas, TX, talked about secured and unsecured debt, and created a dashboard-style view of our finances. Told ya…busy. Still, I didn’t get to share an update on our savings and debt reduction goals. That, I promise, will come early in August. (more…)

This is the 303rd blog post at Prime Time Money.  I figured it was time I had a better starting page than just my archives.  So, if you’re new to the blog, or you’ve been here a while but want to take a deeper dive in the content here, head over to the “Best Of” page.  I’ve got things organized by category and provide a little blurb on each post.  You can also access the “Best Of” page from the menu bar above.  Thanks!

Withdraw from your IRA for a Bigger Down Payment

We were able to do this with no problems last year and have more money for our house down payment.  While I don’t recommend anyone pull their retirement savings out early, there are situations where it makes sense.  Find out why it made sense for us by checking out this article from June 2007.

How Can Three Weeks Overseas Help You Spend Less?

If you’re lucky enough to have a job that has some extended travel and can afford to bring your spouse, the trip can actually end up saving you money on your expense back home.  See how we did it last summer.
