Your Take: TWEETCHAT!
One of the things the cool kids are doing these days is a tweetchat. It’s where we pick a topic, everyone gets on their computers, and we have a good ole chat via Twitter. We’re going to start a tweetchat every other Thursday, starting June 6th. We’ll be using the hashtag #pfchat, with the Tweetchat [...]Show More Summary
About Suze Orman
In our brief profile of Robert Kiyosaki, I said that few people on our top money gurus list generates as much emotion as he does. Suze Orman is one of those gurus. Suze Orman is a very strong television host who uses a lot of “tough love” when it comes to dispensing financial advice. Personally, [...]Show More Summary
About Robert Kiyosaki
Say the name Robert Kiyosaki and you can generate some pretty strong feelings from people. I can only think of one other person on the top money guru poll that does that (maybe two). Most people know him from the Rich Dad Poor Dad book (and subsequent books) and know him as a fairly active [...]Show More Summary

In addition to all the television time, [...]Show More Summary
About David Bach
David Bach is a very prolific money expert and the first guru listed (alphabetically) on our Top Money Guru poll. He is most well known for two major ideas in personal finance. The first one, which I’m a firm believer of, was captured in his book titled The Automatic Millionaire. The basic idea behind the [...]Show More Summary
1st Annual Top Money Gurus Poll

We’ll be polling personal finance bloggers and readers alike to find out who you [...]Show More Summary
Your Take: Do You Trust the Stock Market?
Last week, I wrote about how few “retail investors,” that’s folks like you and me, have come back to investing in the stock market after the craziness of the Great Recession. The market has made significant gains, erasing the losses of the Great Recession, but many investors are still on the sidelines. Then came word [...]Show More Summary
One Clever Idea You’ve Never Thought of to Save Money on a Wedding
One of the most expensive financial decisions many of us make is having a wedding. While my wedding was pretty modest (coming in at right around $3,000), the average cost of a wedding as of this writing is a little more than $28,000! Who has $28,000 to spend on a wedding — especially if you [...]Show More Summary
The Suit Buying Secret They Don’t Want You to Know
This is a guest post from Michael of Financial Ramblings. Editor’s Note: I was chatting with Michael the other day when he told me his story about buying a suit at a major men’s retailer. He told me how he walked in expecting it to be your typical retail experience, that is you pay what’s [...]Show More Summary
The Fastest Way to Find Your Perfect Home
As we mentioned a while back, we’re buying a home and it’s a very exciting time for us. It wasn’t always so exciting though and if you’ve ever looked for a home, you’ll agree. The actual task of finding a house you like can take a very long time and there are no guarantees you’ll [...]Show More Summary
How to Get Away with Insider Trading
Insider trading has been doing on ever since the stock market existed. Everyone is looking for an edge and no one is willing to play fair. Martha Stewart did it and was treated to several months in one of our nation’s fine institutions. Raj Rajaratnam did it and was sentenced to 11 years in prison [...]Show More Summary
Your Take: Ever Research Your Zip Code?
Yesterday, Miranda wrote a post that talked about how marketers are using zip codes to reach new customers. It made me think about the research we’ve done when looking at real estate investments (we dabble a little here and there). One interesting tool I wanted to share with you is ZipSkinny. You give it a [...]Show More Summary
What Does Your ZIP Code Say about You?
Every few months, I receive coupons for baby formula in my mailbox — despite the fact that my only child is now 10 years old. I also receive the random copy of America Baby. And, until recently, I had no idea why Family Circle started showing up at my house monthly. Now, though, after reading stories [...]Show More Summary
Stock Market Soaring, Many Americans Missing the Boat
Statistics are tricky whenever people try to guess their underlying cause but it doesn’t make it less fun. A recent Gallup poll results showed stock market investment by U.S. adults is at its lowest percentage since Gallup has started asking (1998). It’s been on a steady decline since 2007 (65%) and this year it stands [...]Show More Summary
Unemployed? Your Benefits May Be Smaller than You Think
One of the most frustrating things in life is being unemployed. This is especially true if you want to work, but you are unable to find a job. Even though the unemployment rate is falling, many people still find it difficult to land a job. Many states administer unemployment benefits to help support those who [...]Show More Summary
We’re Buying A House (Maybe)
We haven’t covered it much on Bargaineering (you might have guessed given the increased interest in credit scores), but we’re buying a new home. We submitted an offer a little while ago and after a little back and forth, it was accepted. We’re buying a house about ten minutes south of where we live now [...]Show More Summary
5 Signs Your Dream Job is Actually a Scam
One of the great things about technology is that you have the opportunity to make money in new and different ways. You can even find work at home jobs that pay reasonably well. At the very least, you can start a home business as a freelancer, or doing some other type of work. Since the dream [...]Show More Summary
How to Attend Commencement at a University You’ve Never Been To
I was watching CNN’s list of the big-name college commencement speakers and saw that there were a few names on that list I’d love to see. Bill Cosby is delivering the commencement speech at the University of Baltimore on May 21st. President Obama is speaking at the U.S. Naval Academy in Annapolis on May 24th. [...]Show More Summary
