It’s been a slow week at Before You Invest. I am fighting a flu bug and have not been in the office as much as usual. Thankfully I had pre-researched much of what I wanted to write this week. See, it really does pay to plan ahead. This also mean Is did less reading, so today’s list of links is shorter than usual.
Before getting onto the links, I want to send congratulations to Laura Misztela (@lauramadethis on Twitter), who is our first winner in the “Invest in Education” contest. Laura takes home two great personal finance books: The Smart Cookies Guide to Couples’ Money and Rob Carrick”s How to Pay Less and Keep More for Yoursel She is still playing, in hopes of taking home the grand prize of a Kindle eReader.

Thanks so much for focusing on Canadian books and websites – making it easier for me to dig through all the resources that are out there.
Lots of interesting reading – particularly the one on identity theft – shows you can’t be too careful!
