More Than Half of the Upper Middle Class Saves Nothing. This is a fantastic article. Loved this excerpt at the end “There are no shortcuts to building a solid personal financial ecosystem. It’s about instituting systems that allow you to build wealth methodically over time.”


BLOG BUZZ

Note: This section is for long time followers of this hobby and references to blogs/bloggers may not make much sense if you are new to this. You are welcome to stay and read it of course but if you go WTF just remember this note! I think of TBB as the SNL of miles/points blogs and the content here is intended to be satire. If you get hurt I can refer you to my therapist!

I am making a very strong effort to purge my daily blog roundups in Feedly of the usual suspect big and small commercial blogs that just keep pumping what their masters order them. There is so much crap and repetition out there that people should think twice about starting another miles/points blog. Please, be kind to your family and stay away. It is almost impossible to make a name of yourself in such a crowded niche! Please. I am not saying that to discourage you…I am saying that to HELP you!

As promised, this section will be much shorter than the usual epic marathon length posts. I loved the entertainment and miss it believe me! But no outsourcing done here, doing my best and thanks for your support!

View from the Wing managed to bang out a couple of dozen affiliate credit card links in a post titled “Earn the Most Points for Your Spending — Use the Card That Best Leverages What You Buy Most’. The excuse? “It’s been two months since I’ve looked at credit card spending category earning.” Dang! I thought it was more often than that. Or maybe I was thinking of the Top 10 Credit Card template. And thanks for giving a little break to the marketing pitches to tell us about that asshole using the Knee Defender, that was sooooo deep!

One Mile at a Time introduced the first permanent guest blogger because he did not want to outsource the blog (WTF, thanks!). Looks like a nice guy. But let’s try to get some newbies searching online looking how to travel as a family for free. It appears this Family Travel market segment still has more fresh meat only using a debit card or, gasp, a Capital One card 🙂

Bloggers get invited all the time to get wined and dined by banks and hotels. But nobody invites me…whazzup with that? Nobody invites me to free wine and dine functions; all the bloggers bank marketing arms are at the US Open!

There are so many pics of bloggers posing in flat bed seats to attract readers to click on their credit cards. And then there are the pics of Milevalue on flat beds which, personally, I find them to be very bad. At least please delete the yawning one, WTF!!! But maybe it’s just me, I am weird.

Would bloggers please stop beating up on Malaysian Airlines? Thank you.

One of the most ridiculous blog posts was One Mile at a Time going absolutely bananas about the cruel and unusual punishment he endured flying First Class on Etihad. They ran out of food….Get this folks! Ran out of food, oh the grave injustice!!!

Rick, the Founder of Frugal Travel Guy (and former TBB Comments Troll), is back with his best blog post ever. We are talking about taking time away to sit down and reach deep in the vault of all this expert knowledge accumulating for years folks! Here it is, please hold your applause and wild excitement: “TopCashBack is Offering You $10 to Join”. You can bet your credit score that this breakthrough of expert tip would never see the light of the day if it was not for the referral dinero! I can not believe these KKR dudes keep paying for posts like this AND allow him to pump his own referral links! Who cares as long as what matters keeps happening, credit card conversions people! Don’t FTG readers get they are treated like Tools? I bet they are but then they keep drawing in new meat and pump them credit cards seven at a time (or more!). I bet the only one thinking that was a brilliant post was…Delta Points!
