Balance Junkie looks to become a top personal finance blog in Canada by welcoming Tom Drake from Canadian Finance Blog and Jim Yih from Retire Happy Blog.
It seems like every personal finance blog has at least one "best credit cards" post. And some have several. But one size doesn't fit all. The real question is what credit card is best for different types of spenders?
This week was "budget week" for Ontarians. The highlight of the "budget week" was that the federal government will finally stop producing the penny. Although you will be able to use the penny for as long as you want to, The Royal Canadian Mint will stop producing them this fall. I am sure you have read enough about the budgets this week so I won't get into it :) .

Regular readers of the AAAMP Value Blog know I put an emphasis on the fact that price matters! Investment decisions should be made with valuation the primary factor. That is a form of market timing; or if you prefer, call it valuation timing.

One of our most popular articles on this blog is the one Young wrote concerning sites like Groupon and Living Social, as well as lesser-known sites that offer similar discounts.

No. It's amazing how this simple two-letter word has spawned so many articles, studies and blog posts. How do you feel when you hear or read those two letters?
It's that time of year and mid-terms are under way, and for many of you this will be your first time writing them. Exams can be difficult and quite stressful, especially if you're uncomfortable with the course material. Many of you are probably wondering how to pass exams so this might turn into a long post, but as a blog dedicated to helping students I feel as if it is justified.
I believe I finally have something that might stir some thought one way or another - The Smith Manoeuvre. A couple of weeks ago I did a post about using leverage to invest in equities. As I predicted, a large number of readers (including many authors of financial blogs) were uneasy about my use of house-backed leverage to say the least. With all these details they will now really have ammunition to fire away with!
"I love Apple and have pretty large exposure to it. Now some of you who've been around here for a while might be scratching their heads. After all, how can a guy that has an ETF eBook sign up on the right hand side of his blog suggest a specific stock to buy?"
