Link Round-Up: January 15, 2009

by Ryan Healy on January 15, 2009

The last time I did a link round-up, it was early December. How time flies!

Here are a few good articles from the fellow members of the Debt Bloggers Network, as well as another blog I like to read.

Profile of a Freelancer – FWP was recently laid off from her job and literally forced into freelancing. Since I’m a full-time freelance copywriter, FWP interviewed me about how I got started, the struggles I faced, and how my life has changed. This is the interview she did with me.

Save Money by Dumpster Diving – LuluGal has a neighbor who rummages through the dumpster on a regular basis, looking for items she can keep.

I remember as a young teenager going through the scrap bins on work sites. We would take scrap wood to build ramps, forts, etc. And my wife and I once snagged a fake tree that was put out on the curb for the trash man to take.

What do you think? Is dumpster diving a legit way to save money? Go leave a comment and let LuluGal know.

Buying in Bulk Isn’t Always the Best Option – That One Caveman does a good job of illustrating why it sometimes costs you money to buy in bulk — and how the humble coupon can change everything.

(For a similar perspective, please see my article The Perils of Buying in Bulk.)

That’s all for now. Enjoy!
