Weekly Roundup #1
26 Aug
Welcome to the first Weekly Roundup on This Is Common Cents! This is a very new blog, so there isn’t a whole lot to talk about just yet, but I am going to be sharing my favorite posts on other blogs for the week. There is no way I can cover every financial topic I would like to, so instead its best for me to simply mention some of my favorites from around the web. Also, make sure you check out the post about the base themes for this site if you haven’t already, its a great article, and it talks about what this blog is focused towards. Alright, without further ado, here are some of my favorite posts of the week!
To Have or to Hold: The Pro and Cons of Investing in Real Estate (Either Directly or Indirectly) on Modest Money. This is a great article about investing in the real estate market, which is something I highly suggest when its down like it is right now.
A Favor or a Handout, There is a Difference on Work Save Live. This has always been a subject I’m passionate about, and would be willing to bet most people do as well.
