Best Personal Finance Reads of March 2009

by Matt on March 31, 2009

I love the month of March, not only because it is my birthday month, but also because the weather starts to change for the better and we finally get a hint of spring.  To close out the month, I’d like to share with you my favorite reads of the month of March from my fellow personal finance bloggers.  Before we get to that, I’d like to share the most read post on Stupid Cents for the month of March:

Posted March, 6 - The Story of the Mexican Fisherman with a total of 49 unique page views.  If you missed it, feel free to check it out!  My goal for next month is to have a single post hit a 100 unique page views for a single post.  I have to start somewhere, right?

Without further ado, Stupid Cents’ favorite reads of the month:

The David @ Pimp Your Finances highlights a young couple’s goal to retire by the time they are 40. It’s a very advantageous goal to have, but it really depends on what kind of lifestyle you wish to achieve when you retire.

Nickel @ Five Cent Nickel discusses a way to reduce debt with balance transfers. Not just any balance transfer, but a very creative one that deals with coins.  I won’t spoil the surprise, so go check it out!

FMF @ Free Money Finance touches on how you can save money on food for your family, 25% in fact! Why is that? Because 25% of the food Americans buy, goes to waste. Check out his commentary!

The Weakonomist @ Weakonomics writes about simple ways that everyone get by in a tough economy.  Bartering may be old fashioned, but it doesn’t hurt to put a new age twist on it!  30% personal, 60% finance, 20% stupid.  Need I say more? It’s my kind of blog!

Nut @ The Writer’s Coin revisited a post while he was vacation regarding how falling for a significant other can actually help your budget. I’m glad he posted it again, it is a worthwhile read and Stupid Cents approved! My wife and I can certainly relate to the changes our lives went through when we got married.

Jeremy @ Generation X Finance has put together a good list of 20 free online financial resources on various topics.  What’s better than learning about finance from the likes of Yale, all from the comfort of your own home? OK, maybe a luncheon with Warren Buffet, but that’s besides the point.

MLI @ My Life ROI posted a roundup of his latest articles discussing the various ways technology can allow us to slash our cable bills. I can’t wait until more of our favorite shows are available online. Then it will make it easier for us to nix the cable. For now, we’re slaves to it.

I look forward to all your posts in the coming months. Keep up the great work!

Stupidly Yours,

Matt

Thanks for the love. I’m glad you like the tagline. It changes every so often so make sure to check back frequently!

I have noticed the rotating tagline, but that one definitely caught my eye! I’m a daily reader!
