Blog of the Week - April 15, 2007

This week’s Blog of the Week is The Bizarro World Debt Elimination Freakshow. I found their blog last week when Basil left a comment about his garage sale experience. It cracked me up so I decided to check out his blog. This is some great stuff! I love the honesty of this blog (even though they are blogging anonymously). They had over $33,000 in credit card debt and now it is down to $19,000. Their blog is their tale about paying off the rest.

The 72nd Blog of the Week is Lazy Man & Money. His tagline sums up what his blog is about:

Making My Money Work, So I Don’t Have To.

That pretty much should be the primary financial goal for everyone. Stop by and check out his blog and tell him JLP sent you.

Blog of the Week - February 25, 2007

What do you get when you combine and English major with money?

Answer: An English Major’s Money, this week’s Blog of the Week. An English Major’s Money is a blog written by a 23-year-old ‘06 college grad working an entry-level job in New York City. She’s trying to learn to manage her money to maximize both her fun and her future.

I love blogs like this because they prove that personal finance is important for EVERYONE! I also love the fact that although she is young, she is getting a grip on her finances now rather than waiting until she is older. Folks, starting young is the real key to success when it comes to personal finance.

One thing that bugs me is that I’m sure she cringes when she reads this blog since I’m not an English major! LOL!

This week’s Blog of the Week is BluntMoney, a blog written my a married mom of one. According to her introductory post, her goal is to write about…

topics such as getting out of debt, credit health & credit cards, insurance, kids & money, money saving ideas, organizing & decluttering, retirement, savings & investments, taxes, simple living, and my personal money-related goals.

I like the way her blog is organized and the fact that she has only a few categories (unlike the monsterous list of categories that I have). Anyway, it’s personal finance from another person’s point of view. Go pay her a visit and tell her JLP sent you!

Blog of the Week - January 28, 2007

This week’s Blog of the Week goes to The Tao of Making Money, a blog written by a graduate student (I’m not sure which discipline). I enjoy reading blogs by people in different phases of life. Not all readers are in their mid-30s with kids and a mortgage. Therefore, it is cool to read blogs from people who are facing different circumstances such as finishing college and starting a career. I only wish blogging had been around when I was in college. I would probably be a different person than I am now.

So, if you get a chance, stop by The Tao of Making Money.

Blog of the Week - January 21, 2007

This week’s Blog of the Week goes to The Simple Dollar, a frugal personal finance blog. Trent has been writing The Simple Dollar since last October. He covers just about any topic (from going grocery shopping with a camera to 31 Days to Fix Your Finances). When I first saw his post on grocery shopping I thought to myself, “What the heck?…” However, after reading it, I understand that he was showing his readers how to comparison shop.

Anyway, Trent is doing a great job over at The Simple Dollar. So go check it out and tell him that JLP and the MoneyBlogNetwork sent you.

Blog of the Week - January 14, 2007

This week’s Blog of the Week was recommended to me by Single Ma.

The 66th Blog of the Week goes to Womens Wall Street Blog, which is the blog for the website Womens Wall Street. Their mission:

Empowering women with the tools, knowledge and confidence they need to make smart financial decisions.

That’s a great mission! And I’m trying to do my part to help spread the word. The blog is actually written by Jane Dough from Boston Gal’s Open Wallet. Although their blog has only been around a couple of months, there’s lots of great material there for everyone, no matter what your sex.

Blog of the Week - December 17, 2006

This week’s Blog of the Week honors go to Dimes to Dollars, a blog written by a twenty-something Navy wife stationed somewhere in the U. S. This is the first blog I have run across that specifically deals with finances for those in the military so her blog definitely has a nice niche to fill. She wrote an interesting post on how deployments affect the finances of those in the military, that I found enlightening. She also has a two-part series on predatory lending and the military (Part 1 and Part 2) something I blogged about a month or so ago.

Anyhow, if you haven’t checked out Dimes to Dollars, here’s your chance to do so. Tell her that JLP sent you.

Blog of the Week - December 3, 2006

We pick up the Blog of the Week again this week. This week’s BotW goes to The Sun’s Financial Diary, which is my opinion is a baby version of MyMoneyBlog. I say that because, like MyMoneyBlog, The Sun’s Financial Diarywrites about his personal experiences and various deals he has found while cruising the internet.

Blog of the Week - November 19, 2006

This is short and sweet.

The 60th Blog of the Week is Samerwriter. Samerwriter is a blogger and frequent commenter on AFM. I like his style and he covers a lot of interesting topics. It’s a blog worth checking out.
