![More Money Thursday Roundup: Text Your Health Questions &amp; Pay Taxes on Unemployment](https://money.com/content.money.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/06/140601_money_gen_13.jpg?crop=0px%2C733px%2C4780px%2C2689px&resize=1012%2C569&quality=85&strip&ssl=1)

Personal finance from around the Web:

-   The new credit card law requires issuers to notify cardholders about account changes 45 days in advance. But what's the point if [people don't read their credit card mail](http://www.creditbloggers.com/2010/02/only-3-of-consumers-read-their-bank-mail.html)? \[CreditBloggers\]

-   Have a mysterious pain you can't identify? Want to know how to soothe an upset stomach? [Text your question to a group of doctors for $50.](http://bits.blogs.nytimes.com/2010/02/03/have-a-medical-question-text-a-group-of-doctors/) \[Bits\]

-   The [Toyota recall might be a very good thing for buyers](http://moneywatch.bnet.com/economic-news/blog/financial-decoder/cant-wait-to-buy-a-toyota/1240/?tag=content;col1), says one blogger. \[The Financial Decoder\]

-   Come tax time, [don't forget about unemployment benefits](http://www.bargaineering.com/articles/unemployment-benefits-are-taxable.html#more-4676). The first $2,400 were tax-free in 2009, but after that you'll have to pay Uncle Sam. \[Bargaineering\]

-   Count the number of cars on your street and divide it by the number of households. [If the number you end up with is greater than two, you can bet there will be some foreclosures](http://www.dailyfinance.com/2010/02/04/how-cars-trap-consumers-into-a-mortgage-mess/) in your neighborhood. \[WalletPop\]
