From Prime Time Money - view blog entries - visit this blog
March 11, 2008 at 5:49 pm ET The savings account rate is down from 3.65% APY. Bummer. I have several accounts with ING DIRECT:

Our Property Tax Fund
Our Discretionary Spending Checking Account
All will be affected and my interest earned at the end of 2008 will be less than expected (assuming the rate doesn’t go back up). However, even with the rate [...] ... (more) 10 Minutes to a Lower TV Bill (9 clicks)

March 11, 2008 at 5:05 pm ET Satellite and Cable TV Service
If you’re one of the few who survives without the use of satellite or cable TV service, I applaud you. I must say, I’m slightly jealous.

March 7, 2008 at 11:18 am ET Why Check Your Credit Report
I recently presented information detailing how to get your free credit report from annualcreditreport.com. I thought I’d follow up that post with one on what to do when you have incorrect information on your reports. After all, the reason you need to check your reports periodically is because there may be something wrong on [...] ...

March 3, 2008 at 11:15 am ET Credit Card Question
I have access to what search phrases are bringing people to Prime Time Money. For instance, just the other day someone searched for the following phrase in Google and found my site:

From Prime Time Money - view blog entries - visit this blog
March 2, 2008 at 6:10 pm ET Today I ran across a Yahoo! Finance article on managing debt and credit. The last section of the article was on “the role of debt“. An excerpt from that section:

Tonight, Mrs. PT and I are going to a friend’s annual “Beer and Deer” party.

February 20, 2008 at 8:00 am ET Companion Airline Ticket Finally Arrives
Please forgive me for this rant. Last month I wrote about the 3 Steps to Stress-Free Rebates. Obviously I haven’t taken my own advice because I’m pretty stressed right now.
