This week in investing and personal finance

in Week in review

As I dust of the final steps toward my Masters degree* things have slowed down on the blog. I was intending to write a post or two, but there were revisions to make and presentations to prepare. Next week, I promise.

In the meantime, other writers were not slacking this week. Some great reading follows:

Tom Drake at the Canadian Finance Blog answers What are Dividends? in a great educaitonal post.

Jonathan Chevreau at the Wealthy Boomer answers readers’ questions about Tax-Free Savings Accounts.

Gail Vaz-Oxlade is asked to give financial advice to single people, though she argues her advice is the same, regardless of marital status.

Student blogger Christine Sirois talks about the money woes of a third-year journalism student in her first post, Much About Money, at the Get Smarter About Money blog.

Need to make more money to get your finances on track? Ray at Financial Highway shares his tips on setting up a home office.

Last but not least, I have just discovered the Halifax based Money Hugger blog. read their third post in their Holiday Gift Guide series.

Also, thanks are due to Investing Thesis for including us in this week’s Canadian Personal Finance & Investing Carnival.


Note: We had chosen a winner in the RESP book giveaway, but after a delay, discovered they had already won a copy elsewhere. A new winner has been contacted, and will be announced as soon as we hear from them.
