It is no secret that times are tough. People in every industry are facing slowing business and job cuts. Everyone is thinking about innovative ways to keep costs down while improving business. For a number of people who have been laid off, there aren’t many jobs out there to compete for.
In times like these it becomes increasingly important to manage one’s finances effectively. I’ve been a fan of personal finance websites and honestly cant get enough. They come in all shapes and sizes, from people that post their individual experiences to those that aggregate popular posts from other blogs. One of the biggest is PFblogs which aggregates more than 1000 blogs .
One blog I visit frequently is Get Rich Slowly. It’s not just a blog about personal finance but also about things like DIY food gardens, beating procrastination etc. One of my favorite posts is about starting up as a full time blogger. Though I have no such ambitions, people interested in blogging could look at this as a possible career option. If you’re on the blog, do check out posts about filing taxes which is just around the corner.
