"You're going to be a good blogger." - Ben Mattison, ex-blogger.
About Me
- Frances
- JP, MA
- I'm a member of Generation Debt trying to fix some stuff. I just finished a Grad program, I'm living in an expensive city, and I want to bring some order to the chaos that has been my finances for much of my adult life. Hopefully as I chronicle the ways I'm trying to manage my financial life, we'll all learn a few things.
Let me also suggest "I will teach you to be rich" at the dot-com of the same name. I apparently can't link on this thing. He just has a book out too which can be procured at "Amazon" dot-com.
ReplyDeleteDo you understand where I work?
ReplyDeleteI staff rec'd that book this week. But I don't really like the blog. Also, the book has an ugly cover, and a stupid dieting metaphor in the introduction. But I still like the 6 week plan, so I'm going to blog about it anyway.
There seem to be two or maybe three main categories of personal finance blogs. 1) The "I am brilliant and I'm going to be very rich" variety - often comes with a net-worth tracker on the side, and is basically a forum for bragging about how smart the author is. That's "I will teach you to be rich."
ReplyDelete2) The "frugal/cheapskate" variety. These are the sorts of blogs that show you how to save money with a "couponing strategy."
3) The ones I like best are the "Understand your values and live richly but within your means" variety. (Get Rich Slowly, Simple Dollar, and this one right here.)
