Blog of the Week - August 27, 2006
This week’s Blog of the Week is Tricia’s Blogging Away Debt. Tricia is DETERMINED to get out of debt. I admire her for that. When you go to her blog, be sure and check out her debt meter in the upper right-hand corner of her blog. It is impressive to see that she and her husband have paid off over $9,304 of their credit card debt since February 28! That’s awesome!
I also like and respect her for having the self-discipline to quit drinking soft drinks. To learn about her blogging ambition, read her About page.
I can’t wait for Tricia to feel the freedom of NO CREDIT CARD DEBT. Until then, join her on her journey.
Blog of the Week - August 20, 2006
This week’s Blog of the Week selection is Money and Values, a blog written by a 24-year old woman from Chicago. She posts a lot of personal information which is why she chose to blog anonymously under the pen name “Penny Nickel.” As the title of her blog suggests, her goal is to make the connection between money and personal values. In other words, a person’s values should be reflected in their financial decisions. She has her work cut out for her.
So, stop by her blog and read along as she tries to figure it out. You might just learn something about yourself. Oh and don’t forget to listen to her interview with Scott at MoneyBloggerPodcast.
Blog of the Week - August 13, 2006
This week’s Blog of the Week is MakingOurWay. The blog is written by an executive in his late thirties who is married and has young children. His blog details the financial decisions that he and his wife face in preparing for retirement and raising a family. The fact that he is an anonymous blogger allows him the ability to be honest about his finances. I remember a while back he posted his family budget and asked for input. He got it!
The fascinating thing about personal finance blogging is that there are bloggers from all walks of life. MakingOurWay is established financially. His family has a net worth of over $500,000. So, what’s important to him may not be important to someone in their 20s who has a net worth of -$50,000! However, it is still good for the 20-something to read blogs like MakingOurWay to get some inspiration and to realize that within the next decade, they too could have a net worth of over $500,000 (if they make the right choices).
So, go check out MakingOurWay and tell him that JLP sent you.
Blog of the Week - August 6, 2006
This week’s Blog of the Week is udandi and the Craft of Money. I can’t remember how I came across Andi’s blog but I know it was recently. It might have been when I was putting together a carnival or something. Anyway, Andi doesn’t consider herself a personal finance blogger (she doesn’t even talk about IRAs on her blog!). That’s okay, you don’t have to be a personal finance blogger to understand the importance of personal finance. She has been very supportive of the Question of the Day Marathon and will be hosting a question on August 25th.
The reason I’m recommending her blog this week is that I like the fact that Andi is an entrepreneur (read her “About Andi” section to find out more). I love it when someone takes the bull by the horns and does something with their life when faced with difficult circumstances. That right there is reason enough to make her blog the 45th Blog of the Week.
Blog of the Week - July 30, 2006
This week’s Blog of the Week is Financial Freedumb, which is a blog written by an almost 30-year old, living in Hawaii (must be rough!). The fact that he writes anonymously allows him to share his goals and dreams and his progress towards them. He recently changed up the layout of his blog and is asking readers for opinions. To weigh in on his blog’s design, check out this post.
Blog of the Week - July 23, 2006
This week, I pay homage to Experiments in Finance because the blog’s author, Ricemutt, was so kind to fill in for me while I was on vacation. She did a wonderful job! For those who are interested, be sure and check out Ricemutt’s blog, Experiments in Finance. You can also read her post on How to be a Successful Guest Blogger.
Blog of the Week - June 25, 2006
The Blog of the Week selection for this week is Kate Spills the Beans. As you can tell from the name of her blog, her name is Kate and she’s spilling the beans about her family’s finances. Her goal, like so many other personal finance bloggers, is to see her OWE column go down and her HAVE column go up. Her blog is nicely organized and I like her Archives section, which is one of the best I have seen (most blogs are like mine with the calendar for the archives section). Anyway, it is a nicely-written, personal blog and she’s not afraid to say what’s on her mind. Enjoy!
Don’t forget to subscribe to KateSpillstheBeans.

This week’s Blog of the Week goes to Contentment is Wealth. Lisa is an IT Project Manager by day and a wife, mother, and personal finance blogger at night. She doesn’t blog as often as other bloggers, but when she does, her posts are usually detailed. She also blogs a lot about her family’s money experiences. I have talked with Lisa a time or two and really enjoy what she has to say. Check out her blog and see for yourself. Be sure and read this post that explains the meaning of her blog title.

Blog of the Week - June 11, 2006
This week’s Blog of the Week is Rocks in my Dryer. This is the first ever Blog of the Week that isn’t related to personal finance. I chose Shannon’s blog for two reasons:
1. I like her writing style, and…
2. She writes a post each week called Works for Me Wednesday where different bloggers email links to their posts about what works for them and she (Shannon) posts them all in one post. It is basically a different spin on carnivals. Anyway, you can find some interesting ideas each Wednesday so be sure and check it out.
If you are intersted, you can subscribe to her feed. Next week I’ll be back to blogging about personal finance blogs. Enjoy!
Blog of the Week - June 4, 2006
This week’s Blog of the Week is another relatively new blog called the FamilyCEO, which is as much a frugal blog as it is a personal finance blog. I like reading different blogs like this because it opens my world to new things. Anyway, it is a nice blog and one that I think you should check out. You can also subscribe to her blog.
