New Batch of Canadian Money Blogs

April 25th, 2007 · 11 Comments

Here are some of the new entrants in the Canadian Personal Finance blogosphere:

A Canadian and Her Money is written by Money Diva, a 32-year old consultant who has amassed a significant nest egg for someone her age. She updates us on her net worth, discusses what she does to grow it, her long-term plans etc. (Feed)

Crunch Money promises to help to “get a better understanding about some of the financial products you might be hearing about from your broker, advisor, brother, sister, father, or the media”. The blogger has covered topics like Principal-Protected Notes, Segregated Funds and socially responsible investing. Posts are detailed and well written. (RSS Feed)

Debt Be Gone: A couple in their late twenties, who are deep in debt, are on a mission to eliminate their consumer debt, increase their income and save for a home and retirement. They detail their progress in their blog. They are making great progress having paid down $10K in about six months. (RSS Feed)

Investoid is written by a 25-year old former tech entrepreneur from Alberta. The blog mostly deals with investment topics and individual stocks are sometimes discussed. (RSS Feed)

In Re: money, a 27 year-old Torontonian promises to discuss issues specific to Canadian small business, self-employment and taxes and investing, though I can’t say I am a fan of buying penny stocks. (RSS Feed)

Actuary Promod Sharma writes the Riscario Insider Blog. He explains that “riscario” is a combination of risk, care and scenarios and writes to “help Canadians learn about financial risks and how to reduce them”. (RSS Feed)

I know I missed Jack and Kat’s financial diary. It is going to take me a while to read the blog because there are so many entries.

Thanks for including me in the list.

(I tried sending a trackback to your post, but it didn’t work for some reason.)

Hi Canadian Capitalist, I’m maintaining a unique personal finance blog that is more family focused, and sheds light on me and my family’s financial dilemna - I’m in my early 30’s, my wife in her mid-20’s, and we haven’t started saving or investing for our future until now! I’ll capturing everything related to our saving & investing, and covering some other “self help” type stuff…have a look, I hope that some people get some value out of it : )

CC,
Thanks for including my blog! The Canadian PF blogosphere is an exciting and growing place. It feels like I am discovering new ones almost daily!
Just a reminder that readers can also get acquainted with Canadian PF blogs on the Tour of Canadian Personal Finance Blogs. Next tour is scheduled for May 7th and I will be hosting it.
Take care,
MD

Thanks for listing my blog. It’s great to find that others are also willing to share their financial insights and expertise.

I’m intrigued by how many new bloggers are willing to give their ages but not their names. I understand that for some topics writing anonymously is important. In fairness, I took the anonymous route until I read a book by Seth Godin two months ago. He said the Internet would be much more civil if the cloak of anonymity were removed. So I figure that if I’m willing to write it, I should be willing to say who I am. This was not an easy decision to make.

For what it’s worth, I’m in my mid-40s. I’ll give you my name, but not my exact age

I’m semi-anonymous. People in my circle knows that I’m writing a blog, but I don’t have the courage to announce it to the world, yet. It’ll keep me in check, as long as my friends are reading my stuff.
