Financial Links

The last thing I want this blog to be is an endless set of lists or rules that you should follow in your financial career, after all, it is a blog and the human aspect of it all is what it's all about.

If you surf the big financial institution websites, you'll see an endless supply of formal advice that encourages you to invest, usually with them. The market people with these behemoths are always on the prowl, so, you'll also see alternate websites that are giving you the same message in a young, trendy and hip way.

Although I'm not sure if the young people out there use the words trendy or hip any more.

There are now thousands upon thousands of sites offering up advice about investing, providing conflicting messages for the young investor and to filter out some good ones I thought that I'd start adding links to those websites that have helped me achieve my goals over the years.

Instead of embedding them in a post that will scroll away, I've added a permanent box at the right hand side of the blog called financial links.

The first is a Canadian site from a chap called the Marketguy, if you cruise to his site and go through his archives, you'll find a human slant on this financial minefield, and, in the spirit of the Millionaires Club, a touch of humour about the whole process.

Have a good read, but remember, as with the Millionaires Club, these websites are opinion and not advice, often constructed by normal people without financial titles and, as we will repeat again and again, you are ultimately responsible for your own money.

Look after it.
