Was that the method SpidermanTuba was espousing with 33% in municipal bonds?

Cheers to you good sir.

I'll suggest Buy vs Lease and Options Trading. Maybe something on Home Buying/Land/Construction Loans.

Good job BB88

2 topics to consider adding:

Credit score improvement - this comes up pretty often... "made a bad payment once, how do i fix my credit?" type threads. Maybe try to find a thread or 2 and add those

Insurance - this one is a little touchy but life insurance comes up a lot on this board. I know there are a lot of differing opinions (and strong ones at that) but maybe someone can write a small guide that just gives a few basic thoughts and a breakdown of what things are.


Also, a few websites that might be helpful for people. Feel free to include or ignore any of these:
Mint.com - budgeting site
creditkarma.com - free credit score approximation
nerdwallet - for CC decisions
slickdeals - coupons and cheap stuff every day

We have had this on the OB board for awhile. I suggest posting 3-4 times in a row to hold spots for future unforeseen needs and have an admin delete all the post between the original and those 3-4 post. We had to start over because we ran out of room the first time...

Just a suggestion: you might consider editing the OP title to something along the lines of "A Guide to Money Talk - A List of Major Topics Covered".

That might make it more apparent what the "guide" part is about.
