| Topics: | personal finance, bargain hunting, investing |
| Description: | Blueprint for Financial Prosperity is a personal finance blog where I plan to discuss matters of shopping, insurance, investing, retirement, loans, credit cards, mortgages, bargain hunting and other issues related to personal finance. What you will find at Blueprint is a personal finance novice struggling to understand some pretty complex and confusing topics. I’m by no means an expert on anything and I don’t claim to be - you will learn as I learn, struggle as I struggle, and hopefully, together, we can avoid some of the common mistakes we would otherwise fall prey to. I hope to rely on you as much as you rely on me. As I wrote earlier, I’m not an expert, I’m just a normal person like you, and I hope that we can build a community where we can help each other learn the complexities of personal finance. I found that many of my friends didn’t care as much about finances; I wanted somewhere I could discuss these things with people who know where I’m coming from and are interested in the subject. I have to say I’ve found a lot of blogs (I’ve linked to the ones I frequently read and enjoy) and interacted with some very nice people - you should check them all out. I think you’ll find you can email or IM any of them out of the blue and get a thoughtful response on any topic whatsoever. |

Happy Turkey Day!
To those who are celebrating Thanksgiving today, I hope you and yours have a festive Thanksgiving day and weekend. I hope you celebrate the merriment and cheer that is Thanksgiving, enjoy the time with loved ones, and stuff yourself full of food prepared with loving care. To those who aren’t celebrating Thanksgiving, eat something decadent. In the spirit of Thanksgiving, I want to thank you all for visiting today and every day. So often people think that I’

How To Get A Low Interest Rate APR on Credit Card Debt
I’ve been getting a lot of stories of people struggling to get out of debt because of the recent How to Fight a Debt Collector series. They haven’t reached the point of fighting debt collectors yet and they want to keep it that way. As much as others like to malign those deep in debt, the vast majority of debtors want to make good on what they owe. If you’re in heavy credit card debt, the first thing you need to do is

Federal & State Telephone Recording Laws
In the last post about suing debt collectors that violate the law, one of Craig’s recommendations was to record your conversations with debt collectors as evidence they violated the FDCPA. In the comments, there was discussion about whether recording or taping telephone conversations was legal. I thought a post clarifying the issue would be valuable. Federal law permits the recording of phone calls and “other electronic communications” with the consent of at least one party to the c

Don’t Write Personal Checks
Last weekend, the Consumerist mentioned a story that fewer retailers were accepting personal checks this holiday season. They cited check fraud as the big reason for not accepting checks and I argue that check fraud is the big reason why many consumers should not write checks. The personal check is one of the most insecure methods of payment. Consider this test, I call it the internet safety test. If you took an image of a completely filled out of a check, how much of it would you have to black out before you’d feel comforta

Homemade Dumpling Wrapper Skins
Last weekend, my lovely wife had a few of her classmates over for dinner and a movie. For dinner, we made homemade dumplings from “scratch,” except for the skins which were store bought. We must have made close to two hundred dumplings, evenly split between a shrimp and pork filling and a pork and cabbage filling. After a quick 12 minute steaming, a little crisp frying in some sesame oil, we enjoyed the dumplings with some wine. We made as many dumplings as we had stor
