Financial IQ

I came across an interesting test about financial IQ (they call it BillsIQ, because it is on bills.com). The test consists of five different categories: credit, debt, budget, wealth and life plan, each have five multiple choice problems to test how much financial awareness you have. As you see, I got a pretty desent score, :).

After the test, they will promote some of their products that fit your profile best, such as Credit card debt help. Even if you are not interested in their products, I think the test is very helpful and worth a try. When you finish the test, you will be aware of some basic rules to deal with financial matters.  It could never be overemphasized how important it is to deal with your financial problems in the right way. Because it affects your whole life and your whole family’s life.

As I discussed before, I was once in great debt, due to the inproper use of credit cards. At that time, I was like living in the hell. Endless stress attacked me every day. Then I did an extensive research on my money matter and read a lot of articles. And finally I did it, I could see the diminishing of the debt.

I thought I had a good enough understanding of personal finance before I did the test. There are a lot more issues to consider: your retirement, your kids education, your risk management, and a lot more.

Learning is an endless trip, even for money matters.

Finally… PR1!

After being disappeared for a full month, I woke up to find that my website became PR1 now! Cheers! I was just soooo lucky, other than that, I don’t have a lot to say about it. The website was opened 3 months ago, I’ve been as dedicated as normal serious blogger for the first month, and much less dedicated the second month, then totally disappeared the third month. I am sure I am not the first one to find my OWN site become PR1.

I’ve once been (and am still being) a big fan of sponsored posts, and I was warned before about how it will be harmful to the PR. But it ends up not being that bad, lol.  I am not saying that it is a good thing to publish a lot of sponsored posts, the bottomline is, it will hurt the readership. Honestly, I run the site for money, I need money badly, and publishing sponsored posts is the fastest way of tapping into a new site for money. (I tapped $250, not bad, huh?). The thing is, if you are just satisfied with $250 or something, you don’t need worry about the readership you are losing, but otherwise, you need to care about it, I do, even you don’t believe it.

Be careful when you try Emusic

Emusic.com is a website where you can download music. There are a lot of music for download. They are running a free trial promotion. When you sign up as a new user, you can download 50 free musics.

I am writing this article to remind you that their website is so poorly designed that you will become a paid member before you know it! When I signed up and started to download my free musics, I didn’t notice how many musics are left, because I thought it would remind me when I run out of free music. But it didn’t! When I last downloaded an entire album , I exceeded the limit by 2. Then I was surprised to find that my balance increased to 48! I automatically paid for another 50 musics for $14.99! That is the most ridiculous thing I ever tried! It should at least warn me when I run out of balance!

I contacted their customer service a week ago, and still didn’t get reply. I am going to call them to get a refund.

So, watch your balance when you are downloading musics on emusic.com. If you are not good at math, and not careful enough (like me), don’t use it!
