• How to opt out of credit card offers FOREVER

Also, feel free to talk amongst yourselves in the forums. Discuss frugality and simple living, mutual funds and other investments, or anything else that comes to mind.

As usual, please continue to forward intersting personal finance-related sites and articles. I have a backlog of reader-submitted stuff, but I’m always keen to see more. Finally, I’m always open to suggestions on how to improve this site, both in terms of content and layout. Tell me what you think!

Have a safe and happy holiday!
