Stumbled upon your website when checking up at cheapskate monthly to read the newer “everyday cheapskate” articles. I’m glad to see you interested in being financially responsible at your age. I started investing and saving as soon as I graduated High School and got my first job. The 50-bucks-per month mutual fund is now at over $8000. I’m now just over 30 and have a positive net worth, though my husband and I have modest salaries and live in a more-than-modest neighborhood. It IS all about the choices. Thank you for the info on iGObanking, I will probably use it, once I do a little more research. A good source of information for both financial and spiritual use is Crown Financial Ministries (www.crown.org). I am a huge fan of their “being a good steward” approach. I am a Christian, and do believe that God gives me my income to be responsible for. I listen to their “money matters” mp3 archives and read the free articles. They have books, but I have yet to purchase any. Thought I would trade good info for good info. Thanks again.

Jennifer rules! She’s a very talented writer covering a topic of paramount importance. Her site should be mandatory reading for college students, who are typically clueless on matters of personal finance….

Your blog is really great. I found it today through pfblogs.org and started reading it from the beginning. I’m not through yet, but I will:) Keep up the good work! Your posts are very interesting and well written.

Like others, I stumbled upon your site and found it nicely informative in an easy-to-read kind of way. I was pleasantly surprised to discover it was run by someone relatively young, female and attractive. I doubt most others in your demographic would be interested in financial management. I thought however, the overuse of adverts on your pages was a big detractor, especially for someone who eschews
meditation and transcendence. Even if that person is broke-ass.
