Carnival of Debt Reduction

Welcome to this week's edition of the Carnival of Debt Reduction.

I'm sticking with my usual method of hosting a carnival -- listing a summary of each piece with the author's reason for submitting the post to the carnival (for those that submitted one) and/or a bit of the post itself as a summary -- so you readers know what to expect before you get to the post.

With that said, here we go:

• Losing debt like losing weight? - Reducing your debt and reducing your weight have a lot of similarities.

• Very unhappy with Bank of America/MBNA - Good service is hard to come by. Especially when you are trying to do five figure 0% balance transfers!

• Guilty as Charged: Fifteen Free Coffees - A confession of how I am not living up to my debt reduction plan.

• Cutting expenses - Sooner or later, everybody in debt realizes they need to cut back on expenses to find money to pay down the debt. Here's a list of six ideas.

• Maxed Out - Debt Collector & Debt Buyer - Two video clips from the movie "Maxed Out" about the credit card industry and how they try to keep people in debt.

• Consolidate your loans using Unsecured Debt Consolidation loans and Reverse Mortgage - My personal views about Unsecured Debt Consolidaiton loasn and reverse mortgage in debt consolidation.

• Eight Ideas to Make a Few Extra Bucks - A great way to help reduce your debt faster is to find extra income. Here are some ideas for making a few extra bucks.  Remember - every little bit counts and an extra $20/week equals an extra $1040 a year!

• Checking Out The Money Making Sites - You know that I am always checking out the money making sites to give you a review. My sole purpose in researching these work from home opportunities is to make money to pay off the debt.

• Debt-Proof Living - I really liked how Mary Hunt, author of a book by the same title, defined “debt-proof living”.

• They Fall For It So Easily - People fall for credit card offers too easily, sometimes without comparing credit conditions, reading the fine print, or even thinking about it.  Avoid falling into such trap.

Thanks for visiting the Carnival of Debt Reduction! If you want to know a bit more about Free Money Finance, see my posts of the week for last week.

Probably. I check a few minutes after 5 pm (the deadline), posted what was there, and never looked back. ;-)
