Linkworthy: Tooth, Nose and Needle

Every now and again we all have the urge to spout off something probably better left unsaid. My pick of the week goes to Krystal from GiveMeBackMyFiveBucks for doing just that.

Her rant, titled “Don’t Buy Stuff You Can’t Afford“, sites her friends poor choices that they continue to make yet complain about regularly. I don’t know about you, but I have been in her shoes, surrounded by people that whine constantly about their problems yet never make the effort to fix them. Here are her final thoughts about her friends possible reasoning:

Sometimes I feel like they think that it’s okay for them to be in debt, because everyone around them is also in debt. And if you’re all in it together, then nobody is getting ahead of each other, because everyone is just drowning. Which is a terrible way to think. But it’s like they’re enabling each other to keep on spending and to keep on buying things. And nobody in the group is going to say anything or change their ways, because they all like their fancy cars and their posh dinners and extravagant vacations.

You tell em Krystal! 😉 …and here are some other gems from around the web:

• David gives us 7 Ways to Save Money on Dental Care & Bills. These are some excellent tips, but the most important one being go more often!
• The Digerati Life shares some information about the various Fast Cash loans out there and why they are a horrible idea with Get a Fast Cash Loan, Pay Through Your Nose. These are almost always a bad idea and will just land you in hot water.
• The Self Reliance Exchange details some of the benefits of Acupuncture in Alternative Medicine. I’ve always wanted to try this..but I’m afraid of needles 😉
• Frugal Dad has Seven Secrets to Financial Independence. They are all awesome so I will let you decide which you like the best.
• Five Cent Nickel discusses how to Create Your Own “Extended Warranty Fund”. Warranties are some of the easiest profit in the retail business. Using these tips, you can self insure your products and if they don’t break, keep the cash!

Some awesome ideas and fun stuff this go around. Keep it up!
