26 freebies from Kiplinger
Here is a list of 26 "fabulous freebies" from personal finance site Kiplinger.com. The story is a laundry list of where to get free music, books, software, ATM withdrawals, college courses, kids meals, and on and on.
I'm going to print out a list to refer to from time to time. For now gere are some of the best freebies from the list.
"FREE BUDGETING - Looking for help keeping tabs on your budget? You don't have to shell out for Quicken or Microsoft Money software. Track your spending instead through the free service at Wesabe.com. You enter your accounts to organize your spending into different categories on one convenient site.
Wesabe will also help you pinpoint areas where you could improve, and lets you get feedback from other Wesabe users, all while protecting your passwords, identity and other sensitive information."
"FREE INTERNET SERVICE - Even after you've upgraded to broadband Internet, it's a good idea to have a back-up dial-up service on your computer for when the cable goes out or your DSL acts up. NetZero, for example, still offers a free version of its software -- ten free hours per month."
"FREE LEGAL ADVICE - You don't need to hire a lawyer to handle many routine legal matters. All you need is...
...Nolo, a publisher of self-help legal fare that counsels you on writing a will or a living trust, buying real estate, or minimizing estate taxes. Search its free articles on its Web site, Nolo.com. They're authoritative -- and yet they clearly explain when your situation calls for hiring a lawyer."
"FREE VACATIONS - One our favorite freebies comes courtesy of Moments-Notice.com. You can snag bargain fare on a last-minute Caribbean cruise, for example, and get a free voucher for a hotel stay on a second trip.
Or, for a vacation freebie that doesn't require a previous purchase, how about playing tourist in your own home town? Take a hike on a nearby nature trail, visit free monuments and tourist attractions in your own backyard. After all, you already have a free place to stay."
"FREE PC PROTECTION - Guard against spyware, viruses and other invaders with three free software defenders:
1. For a firewall: Zonealarm.com
2. To annihilate spyware: Microsoft Windows Defender
3. To kill viruses: AOL's Safety and Security Center"
