Ah, finances. Piece of cake to some, impenetrable mystery to others. If you're one of the economically befuddled, if you don't know the difference between the prime rate and prime rib, then take a gander at this blog geared toward the financial novice. Here you'll find lively discussions and research on some common bread-and-butter issues: "Is it better to rent or buy? (Answer: Buying's overrated); "Is it better to pre-pay a mortgage or invest the money instead?" (Answer: pre-paying's more of an emotional choice than a financial one.) And of course: "Just how do I make a budget anyway?" (Answer: It can be done.) The blog, which is penned by a "middle-aged geek," also tackles big picture issues like the meaning of financial security and the environmental benefits of just buying less stuff. So before you manage your finances by answering that email from the Economic Minister of Nigeria, try some of the tips here. And get rich slowly.
