The following is a guest post by My Two Dollars reader James Watson.
Football in the UK (or “soccer” as the residents of the US know it!) has always been a lucrative business, and no more so than since 1992 with the introduction of the Premier League and the partnership with Sky TV. Since then there have been unimaginable riches in football, and it looked like there would be no boundaries to the amount of money flying around the league.
Hope you guys have a fantastic weekend. 
The first 30 years of my life I was convinced it was the other way around. I believed that in order to be successful you had to make a lot of money, at any price, even if it meant that you hated what you did for a living. After all, what was more important than making a lot of money?
Credit freezes are designed to prevent any of the 3 credit companies from releasing your credit report without your consent. When you request a freeze on your report, for whatever reason, you are usually given a PIN number to be used to authorize someone to look at your credit report – whether that be at a car dealer, for a real estate transaction, etc.. The credit reporting agency being asked for your information will contact you for this PIN number and assorted other personal identification, just to be sure that you are who you say you are. After all, if you are requesting a credit freeze, it is usually because your identity has been compromised.
I haven’t gotten the newspaper delivered to my house in years. Every once in a while I would pick up a Sunday paper back when I lived in Los Angeles, but ever since I moved to New Mexico and now to Colorado I haven’t been buying or reading the local papers…until this past week. For my own “green” reasons I don’t buy the paper Monday – Friday, but now that I have limited my internet time on weekends I have decided to subscribe to the paper on Saturday and Sunday only. Having the physical paper in my house on the weekends makes me take the time to enjoy the coffee and do some reading rather than just jumping right on the computer like I do every other morning. However, as I discovered, reading the paper can cost you either street price OR a heavily-discounted price, depending on how/where you get it from. Which one do you think I went for?
