It isn't easy to find. Mike, the editor, posted a link - but I can't find that page unless I go through that link.

OK. I posted on a few threads over there, but I can't feign interest in their "articles" anymore. I wish them luck, but unless they fix the data issues Angel pointed out and come up with more interesting (to me) articles, I'll spend my time elsewhere.

Max - I'm beginning to feel the same way. Especially knowing that most of their "community" is paid. Their response was "If you want more threads about savings, start one." Well - will you pay me to research and write a topic like you so everyone else? Can't your paid people bring some quality and variety to the table?

Funny how they want unpaid people to write their articles that would probably bring in the financially experienced/serious investors.

Thyme! You have been up to naughty shenanigans. I'll bet you have made an infamous name for yourself.

I just made a snarky comment on that restaurant one too -- the restuarant recommender is pretty stupid.

After much trial and several errors, I posted two responses over at Bundle. One on your "Isn't it Odd" thread, and one on a tax thread that I found using this url: money.bundle.com/search/community/1

The link above is to a page that lists the top 15 community topics, with ththe ability to proceed on to further topics (180 to date). WTF is up with the link to that useless screenshot in Mike's response? And since when is taking a screen shot "creating an image"?

Wait...I don't get it. Oh; only Bundle-generated thread topics seem to appear on this list. Or something. None of the current topics appears. How stupid.

I actually had a misguided moment of hope that we could go and spam forth, you know, sort of convenient-like.

I had to call her out on that article about the food. She actually said that it's not possible to make a meal out of canned tuna, white bread, milk and "sorry looking" bananas and apples.

That article was close - but didn't examine the math on how to make the decision. There are more factors to consider than just what she mentioned. I also wish she had given tips on who to call once you decide, so you can actually open one. Maybe that was one of the links.

mithrin,
I was pretty sure you could withdraw contributions from a ROTH within the five year window. In fact, I thought the order of withdrawal priority went contributions, then conversions, and finally earnings.

mithrin, I was pretty sure you could withdraw contributions from a ROTH within the five year window. In fact, I thought the order of withdrawal priority went contributions, then conversions, and finally earnings. Yes, that was the part of the article I was trying to correct. The article made it sound like all contributions required a 5 year wait, when the 5 years ONLY applies to conversions. At least they have articles like this that show that it doesn't take that much time to get started on retirement savings--the same author also wrote follow-up articles on how to open a Traditional IRA and Roth IRA with links to the major companies.

So I finally went over to Bungle to read the "articles" Wow, those are some of the worst financial articles ever. I really felt like I was reading someone's facebook status or twitter of the day. I don't know if they are trying to be hip and edgy, but they come off as completely ignorant of finances. MSN really jumped the shark with Bungle. (Crap...does that saying age me?)
P.s. Yes I know the real name is Bundle.
