No Time - originally posted by bombhead

Staffing problems at work have meant that the biggest thing missing from my week has been time. As you may have already noticed, today saw my first post since last Monday - apologies for this one. Thankfully I have had some time to kick back and relax today. Some of that time has been well spent catching up on my reading for the week and these are my picks for the week. Hope you enjoy …

Moolanomy: 7 Bookmarkable Personal Finance Communities

This post really does what it says on the tin. While it is not inspirational or earth shattering, I think it really does warrant a mention as it is just so useful. I know that I personally spent many hours reading posts on personal finance blogs and reading personal finance books without ever really getting into a debate with anyone else. One of the great things about becoming involved in one of the seven communities Moolanomy recommends is that it really gives you an opportunity to debate and dicuss your ideas with others … and maybe learn something in the process.

Generation X Finance: 24 Signs That You Could Be In Financial Trouble

I am including this series of posts because, although thankfully I am already on the road to financial recovery, for those of you who aren’t or who aren’t even sure if you need help this is an invaluable post. I think one of the great strengths of this post is that it can really bring home to people the reality of their financial situation. If you find yourself in a couple of these situations or more on a regular basis, then it really is time to sit up and take a long hard look at your actions. Even for those of us that are already on the road to financial recovery or are already in a strong position this series make great reading as it makes us aware of either the traps we have already fallen into, or those that may be waiting around the next corner.

I can’t emphasize it enough … this series really is a must read for everyone.

Get Rich Slowly: How To Organize Your Finances in Four Easy Steps

Another one of many great posts from Get Rich Slowly. This one really stood out to me personally because when it comes to organisation, I swear I have split personalities. When it comes to work I am organized to the point of bordering on obsessive, however the minute I walk through my front door that all seemed to disappear in a puff of smoke. For any of you out there that are like me, this article is well worth taking the time to read. Even if you only implement one of the four ideas you will still be far better off than before.
