Credit card fees and fine print: What's in your wallet?

Credit card fees and fine print: What's in your wallet?

This post comes from partner blog The Dough Roller. Credit card companies are masters of marketing. From cash back to travel rewards, and 0% introductory rates to gas rebates, credit card companies have turned a once fledgling industry (remember MasterCharge?) into a multibillion-dollar juggernaut. While taking advantage of credit card rewards can be a financial boon, care must be taken that fees and default interest rates do not ensnare us.

It was sort of a "generational moment" if you will, everyone pumping their fists in the air and chanting, "hey, hey, hey, hey!" to Simple Mind's classic soundtrack "Don't You Forget About Me" -- we 80s kids didn't really have our Woodstock (maybe Live Aid?), but we did have our John Hughes movies.

My next gadget? I wish

I've been thinking about what the best format is for my next laptop for a long time. My good friend Zack blogged about his views and some of our discussions on his blog a while back. I think many of us have been thinking about this since the release of the Newton. A few things got me thinking about this again. The announcement a few weeks back of the iPhone 3G for one.

This is a call to arms against Millennials

This is a call to arms against Millennials

Sure, Generation X survived AIDS, Reagan, the Cold War, Tipper Gore, and A Flock of Seagulls, but those adversities, suggest Strauss and Howe, pale in comparison to what Millennials face today. Consider the stress of having to juggle a 30-hour...
