The purpose of this lens is to focus on the money hacks I have learned, and continue to learn about, throughout my life. This lens runs the gamut of personal finance, covering earning, spending, saving, preserving, investing, and multiplying your money.
New Look to Money Hacks
I just wanted to let you know that I've freshened up the Money Hacks site with a new template. I think it looks great, but what do you think?
Does it help you find information any easier?
I am currently in the long process of adding categories (you won't see any evidence of that on the site until I'm finished) and updating my blogroll, which is a little daunting because I want to include a lot of sites without having a terribly long list.

Debit or Credit?
The fools over at fool.com have written an excellent article explaining the pros and cons of each type of plastic card (debit, credit, hybrid). I always use credit if I can; I rarely use a debit card. Don't like the fees.

9 Steps to Financial Security
According to Scott Adams aka Dilbert
- Make a will
- Pay off your credit cards
- Get term life insurance if you have a family to support
- Fund your 401k to the maximum
- Fund your IRA to the maximum
- Buy a house if you want to live in a house and can afford it
- Put six months worth of expenses in a money-market account
- Take whatever money is left over and invest 70% in a stock index fund and 30% in a bond fund through any discount broker and never touch it until retirement
- If any of this confuses you, or you have something special going on (retirement, college planning, tax issues), hire a fee-based financial planner, not one who charges a percentage of your portfolio
