Hi Bob. Thanks for commenting and subscribing. I am going to try to update this site a few times per week because I really do have a lot of useful knowledge on the subject of personal finance. It is something that m parents have hammered on my for years.

There are much better places for most people to put there money. Did you see the post on the income tax implications of P2P loans? That will put it in clear prospective that you should be maxing out all tax deferred investments first and even a non-tax protected S&P 500 investment is a better investment than p2p loans.

I added a blog roll link to Lazy Man and Money since he referred a few visitors to me based on my comments and I appreciate it. He really has a great site that I like reading.

Thanks for the link to your site over on Lazy Man. It seems there are better places to put ones money, before the P2P, then there is money in an average joe’s pocket book.

Another came to mind while reading your suggestions. Place the money in a high interest savings account to fund a side business.

I’ll subscribe to your site and check back to see how you make out with it though.

Best of luck to you.
