'About Creditland' Posted in 'About' Section of Creditland.org

Heads up there is a new section to explain Creditland's mission. A couple of notes: 1) We are NOT selling any financial products. 2) We offer a free forum to discuss the pitfalls of living in the economy. 3) While we may have suggestions, we do not have professional answers.

Creditland is of the opinion we are ALL experts about living in the economy in our own way - we are authorities of our own experience. By sharing these experiences we share knowledge and build a group 'database' if… Continue

Will Lynda.com refund my $25 or not?

I signed up for Lynda.com to learn podcasting and they auto-bill every month in advance...whoo hoo works for Lynda! does not work for me. Last month I thought I might need tutorials so I let them bill me March 13 for the month up until yesterday - I arose this morning to cancel my subscription only to find out: Bingo! I had been billed overnight!

Lynda.com apparently isn't going to wait a damn second to take their money out of my account. So I wrote them the following letter. Let's see… Continue

Dear US Economy,

We call it 'Democratizing Punditry.' Tell me one good reason you can't be a pundit about the economy and I'll give you a Soap Box to yell that reason as loud as you can. You have it in you. I know you do. Anyone with bills can do punditry about the economy and Creditland is here to capture it all....

Hip Hop Economics

Apr9,10|Athens - Dead Prez playing in town tonight is a wake up to me that hip hop is one of the few contemporary music forms that takes economics seriously.

Dead Prez, from back in my neighborhood in Brooklyn, play tonight in Athens at New Earth Music Hall with Kidz in the Hall - both keyed into economic lyrics....

Back in the MPLS, there were no shortage of social hip hop artists. A common topic of Atmosphere includes getting by on service industry wages. Also on the Rhymesay… Continue
