Morning Round-up: What's Hot in the PFBlog-o-sphere this week?

The Consumerist has an article about a person who emailed Progressive after their credit score had improved (apparently the company checks your credit every 3 years by default) and the company dropped his premium about $70 for the 6 mo period. Not too shabby.

Frugal for Life has a nice run down of common renting laws and tips to prevent you from getting screwed by the landlord.

If you want to see the problem of overspending perpetuated in America check out the new version of the "Life" board game being co-sponsored by Visa called "Twists & Turns" over at the Consumerist.

Free stuff is always good, especially if it's good free stuff. The Five Cent Nickel is giving away iPods and well boxes of bricks in celebration of it's two year anniversary. Everyone can use a free iPod. You just need to make a comment on the page.

The Washington Post has a thorough article about how to fight back against the subprime fallout and keep your house (I know it's not a blog, but hey - it's relevant).
