New in 2010: Do you want to earn more money? – This post at I Will Teach You To Be Rich is a great one. While you may not realize it from the title, Ramit makes some great points about how you should really be focusing on increasing your income instead of worry so much about cutting costs. Cutting costs will only get you so far, but increasing your income can change your life exponentially. You should definitely check this post out!

Looking Out to 2010: Economy and Personal Finance – Wojciech recently had a great and very detailed post about his financial and economic outlook for 2010 on his blog Fiscal Fizzle. He also gathered up some great insight from a lot of other personal finance bloggers about what individuals can expect from 2010, and their takes on the market was a quite interesting read.

The Most Important Financial Goals For 2010 – Patrick talked about some of the most important financial goals that should be on everyone’s radar on Cash Money Life.

Six Ways To Knock Out Creditors – Many people do not know their right when dealing with creditors and collection calls. A lot of people do not know what to do or how to handle it.

Should Companies Teach Their Employees the Basics of Personal Finance? – I think that most readers of this blog know how I feel about teachers teaching personal finance to our children, but what about businesses?

Check out this great posting at  PT Money.

83 Ways To Be Smarter With Money While You Are Still Young – The Consumerist, the blog for Consumer Reports, featured Own The Dollar’s post about the money moves you need to make now before you turn 30 years old. It was a great honor to be mentioned by them.
