Just a note of thanks from me to the editors of Technical Analysis of Stocks and Commodities magazine. Why? Because they recently did a very positive review of Free Money Finance (scroll a bit down the page for the full piece). Here are some of their key thoughts:
For a one-stop shop of personal finance advice, FreeMoneyFinance is hard to beat -- both because it is easy to search through the various topics (there is a "Categories" list on the right side of the webpage) to find the issue of interest, as well as because the writing is clear and impersonal in a way that only blogs can be. Some advice may be most easily pursued when it comes across authoritatively, in a "thou shalt not" type of way. Personal finance gurus like Suze Orman have made a career out of telling people, essentially, how stupid they are for not managing their money better. FreeMoneyFinance's approach is far more comradely, as the anonymous author shares his own adventures and misadventures in the world of personal finance (for example, "Great buy at Costco," and "The cost of a pet is $48,000").
FreeMoneyFinance helps those of us who've grown up (or raised our children) near the precipice of financial incoherence to begin to take the first steps away from the ledge toward surer ground.
Wow! I'm flattered!!! ;-)
Thanks to those at Technical Analysis of Stocks and Commodities magazine and especially to writer David Penn. I'll do my best to live up to the great review.
I, for one, would be interested in your thoughts on what to do regarding investing if things escalate in the Middle East.

It's anyone's guess. But since I have a long-term perspective and believe in the overall and continued success of the U.S. economy, I simply keep on investing using index funds. See this link for details:
