Written by Nickel - Leave a Comment

It’s weekly roundup time… I’m a bit late this week as we’re camped out in a hotel room awaiting the arrival of the moving van. They picked up our stuff on Thursday, and we got down here on Friday morning. Our stuff won’t arrive until Monday. Anyway, with that said, here’s a quick look at what’s going on around the MoneyBlogNetwork…

The MightyBargainHunter offers up his thoughts on Prosper.com.

Flexo at ConsumerismCommentary talks about Vonage’s potential legal troubles. He’s also hosting the Carnival of Investing, so be sure to get your submissions in!

JLP of AllFinancialMatters warns us to be careful where we buy life insurance. For a look at how my wife and I bought life insurance, be sure to check my posts on buying life insurance from last fall.

Jim from pfBlueprint talks about how slow the traditional print media can be when it comes to reporting the news. He’s also looking for guest bloggers, so be sure to drop him a line if you’re interested.

FMF from FreeMoneyFinance gives us some tips on saving on energy costs.

Also be sure to drop by the MoneyBlogNetwork Forums, which are chock full of information on how to get the most our of your blogging efforts.
