Well, that special time of year is certainly upon us, isn’t it? Yes, flu season is in full swing. (Did you think I meant something else?) Folks are dropping like flies around here, and I missed half the week myself. Luckily, scanning the finance blogs is easy to do from the comfort of your couch, and there was lots to keep me busy reading.

The Canadian government had a big announcement this week, as Minister Flaherty pitched a private pension plan for small businesses and the self-employed.

Jonathan Chevreau gets right to the point about cutting costs in It’s easy: Just stop your spending in the Financial Post.

Alan at the Canadian Finance Blog posted a review of Mint.com in Canada.

The Investment Executive reported on a recent Bank of Montreal survey which says that 70% of Canadian RRSP owners don’t know what they are invested in.

Clark at Million Dollar Journey warns against lending money to friends.

Miranda at Financial Highway discusses couples’ finance in Are You Ready to Open a Joint Account?

And from south of the border, Ryan Guina at the Military Wallet tells you How To Calculate Your Net Worth. (I did this earlier this week. It was a great excercise, and I came out better than I imagined!)

Thanks are due this week to Jim Yih who included our post Beware illegal foreign lottery scams in his Best of the Blogs roundup.
