As I’m constantly looking for money making opportunities, I recently came across a concept of writing reviews of websites on your blog and getting paid for it. So I thought, why not give the “get paid to blog” idea a try.
So by doing some quick research it became clear to me that “Pay Per Post” is the biggest out there and they have literally thousands of opportunities to choose from.
As this blog “Everything Finance” is a Personal Finance resource where I try to make the finance jargon a little easier to understand, it is important that I, suddenly, don’t start blogging about Cooking and Food Recipes
So when I signed up with “Pay Per Post” and got approved, I started looking at the opportunities available to me and was happy to see that there were quite a few finance related topics that I could blog about.

If this idea […]

Some nice points made by a columnist at Yahoo Finance. I extracted the 6 points that she has mentioned and put it in here. Hope you find them useful.
The Six Best-Kept Money Secretsby Laura Rowley
1. Understand what you can control, and what you can’t.
“Too many investors spend time trying to predict what the market will do, where interest rates will go, or which fund manager will have the best year — things that, ultimately, they have no control over,” says Fran Kinniry, principal in Vanguard’s Investment Counseling and Research Department.
“Meanwhile, they’re not focused on the things they can control, such as keeping their investment costs down; maintaining a proper, balanced, tax-efficient portfolio; and taking maximum advantage of savings opportunities, such as an employer match in a 401(k),” Kinniry says. “Understanding and acting on the things you can control is the best way to prepare for long-term investment success.”
2. You know […]

Here’s what happened.I went to a Bank of America location to inquire about mortgage rates. I started talking to a Financial consultant there, about what kind of a rate can I get for a 30 year fixed loan, given that my credit score is 790 and I pay off my credit card bills in full each month.She started by asking me how much of a credit limit do I have on my credit cards. I told her that my 3 credit cards combined, I have $30000 at my disposal. She then said that to get a better interest rate I should close one or 2 credit card accounts…something about debt to income ratio !!
Everywhere I have read that stop using credit cards but never close credit card accounts!!
Am I wrong here ??
So, to find out more I posed this question to the fine bloggers at the Money Blog Network.

Make a list. We keep a piece of paper stuck to the fridge, and whenever we run low on things, we add them to the list. This list is for anything that you could buy at either a grocery store or a warehouse store like Costco.
Do some window shopping. If you’re just starting out, go to each store with the list and write down the unit prices on the items you buy regularly. Get out your calculator & compare. If you’ve got old grocery receipts laying around the house, you can save time on this step by taking the list to Costco & comparing, although your comparisons won’t be as accurate because of the differences in sizes. This takes a little time, but you only have to do it once! And the savings will be significant over time. Don’t buy ANYTHING during this step!
Evaluate. Look at the items that […]

One of the most important things to have is an emergency fund.If, for any reason, your income stops, your emergency fund should be able to carry you for at least 6-8 months.
Courtesy of Bankrate.com, below is a list of very good tips to build and maintain an emergency fund.
1. Start saving something today. It doesn’t have to be a large sum. Even on a tight budget, a small amount adds up over time. Depending on the size of your family, skipping a meal out each week could result in a savings deposit of $160 per month.
2. Treat saving as a bill. Consider having the amount transferred automatically from your checking account or paycheck. Pay your account every month or every two weeks.
3. Open a Christmas savings club. You may be able to set up an automatic deposit to come directly from your paycheck. You don’t think about spending the money […]
