What’s New Around The Blogosphere: May 25th, 2012

About a month ago I decided to start up an exclusive newsletter for Boomer & Echo subscribers.  This was in response to a few emails I received from readers asking how to start improving their finances.

So I put together a free step-by-step series about taking control of your finances.  This exclusive content will be sent out to subscribers twice a month.  You can sign-up for free updates here and join over 1,500 other subscribers.

Last week I had the pleasure of speaking with Kevin Press, who runs the Today’s Economy blog over at Brighter Life.  We talked about how a major health event can impact your financial planning.  Check out the interview here – Echo generation blogger.

This week on Moneyville I looked at why unlimited chequing accounts are so popular.  I also explained why tracking your expenses makes sense.

Here are a few more interesting personal finance articles from around the blogosphere this week:

  1. Money Smarts Blog explains why the Facebook IPO was a success
  2. Free From Broke looks at reflections on a frugal Japanese life
  3. Michael James on Money asks is the tax system stacked against retirees?
  4. Financial Highway explains why for sale by owner may not be the best choice when selling your home
  5. When Life Gives You Lemons shares 6 ways to simplify your life (without becoming a minimalist)
  6. My University Money asks when should you go back to school?
  7. My Wife Quit Her Job explains why owning your own business shouldn’t be the end goal, and what should be
  8. Young and Thrifty asks how much is that wedding in the window?
  9. Best Rates In says what’s the big deal about a credit card balance transfer?
  10. Retire Happy Blog says money can buy happiness

We were also included in the following blog carnivals this week:
