Some recent Twitter posts about money, credit cards, secrets

August 12, 2008 · 9 comments

I’m busy doing a re-edit of the iwillteachyoutoberich book chapters, so there won’t be many posts this week.

In the meantime, I’m still Twittering ultra-short posts. Some recent posts:

The person I met who’s afraid to look at her balance
The emotional side of “investing” in real estate
How I edit my chapters
Surprising data I’ve found about credit cards and secrecy

1 Laura August 12, 2008 at 10:48 am: I used to be worried about opening up my credit card bills. Now that I think about; that was the dumbest thing. I was afraid of being accountable for my actions.
I completely understand the woman holding her ear away from the phone. I feel less stress not having credit card debt.
2 mike August 13, 2008 at 6:23 pm: Call me old fashioned, but I don’t understand the point of twitter… maybe I just haven’t spent enough time there to figure it out. All I see is a bunch of one liners but no story behind it.

I like to see my balances. I get mad when I’m in debt. I just focus that anger towards my debt and it helps me pay it off quicker.

‘Course my wife always thinks I’m mad at her, but she gets over it.

I’ve been following you on twitter for about a week now. I am quite interested in all of the people you meet and the resulting stories. I’ll definitely keep following you, especially while updates here are scarce.

Take care.

7 Twitter Noob December 31, 2008 at 9:46 am: I just wanna know where to buy Twitter stock so that in five years I can pull my boat next to “Puffy” Combs’ boat and ask him for some Grey Poupon.
8 twittled January 5, 2009 at 8:15 am: I’d prefer a tweet from my bank when my checking balance falls below $XXX. Heck, a timely email will do too. I tried to set MINT up to do this but those alerts come out so late as to be pointless. And since FEES drive Banks’ behavior, I won’t hold my breath that they’ll implement such a thing any time soon. Any other options?
