Editor’s Picks:

  • J. Money presents Is MonaVie Juice a Scam? posted at Budgets Are Sexy. This is just one of many MLM things around. Sad part is, many people flock to things like this during a recession because of the American dream: work hard and you will be successful. Unfortunately, it rarely ever pans out, and people keep throwing their money and time down a black hole.
  • Tom presents Building an Inexpensive Office Wardrobe posted at Canadian Finance Blog. This is something that a lot of people don’t really think about when starting a job (or making the decision to leave one to become a stay-at-home parent). Clothing is expensive, and can be even more so if you think that people think you need to turn up in the most stylish and expensive clothing every day.
  • Joe Plemon presents How Much is Your Pet Worth? posted at Personal Finance By The Book. I love dogs (and Joe has a pretty neat looking one), so for me this is something I don’t even want to have to consider, but unfortunately, I probably will at some point.

Editor’s Picks:

Charity is for suckers posted at Control Your Cash: Making Money Make Sense. Ostensibly, this is a post about whether or not you should give money to the hungry and homeless. But what I took away from it was something quite different: a testament to determination, perseverance and personal achievement. Have a read and see what you think.

The Secret To Early Retirement posted at Financial Samurai. Ooooh, I think that Financial Samurai may raise a few hackles with this one! I’m not sure that I agree with his conclusion – my inner Germaine Greer is making a cross face – but it’s certainly food for thought.

Advantages of Online Banking posted at FIRE Finance. This post, which tells the story of a recent visit to the authors’ Aunt Jane and Uncle James, does a good job of pitching to those who are new to online banking tools and features.

Raising Savvy Business Kids posted at Money Reasons. MoneyReasons is raising a brood of mini-Trumps and mini-Bransons. You don’t believe me? Take a look at this.

Lindy presents How to Bamboozle Your Spouse into Creating a Budget posted at Minting Nickels. I am a newcomer to this blog, but I already like it a lot: it is nicely designed and Lindy’s sense of fun makes other personal finance blogs look positively po-faced!
