All summaries below are written by the respective author with minimal editing by me. So, without further ado (it is fun saying that), here are ten articles on managing your personal finances:

    3. I have been called by some a "grandpa" on the road. They mean to say that most grandpas are old men, and most old men drive slowly. Well, I am not sure that is a logical argument, but I admit that I do drive slower than most. John presents Does cruise control actually save gas?.

    4. There is nothing wrong with being frugal, and saving money to improve your personal finance situation is a good thing. But, when it comes to eating out, I have to respectfully disagree with most of the frugal advice. In fact, I would go so far as to say that frugality while dining out is a contributing factor to some of the bad economic times. Matt presents Don't Be a Cheapskate While Dining Out.

    5. A review of the nation's top 10 online, high-yield savings accounts. From the article: "The rumors are true: savings account interest rates are at an all-time low. Just looking at big bank accounts, you might well think that your best course is the tried-and-true mattress method. The numbers would bear you out: as of February 21st, 2012, the national average is 0.10%. But don't give up on high-yield savings accounts just yet. You can earn up to 10 times the national average just by looking online." Laura Edgar presents NerdWallet's Top 10 High-Yield Savings Accounts for the Digital Age.

    8. As I prepare for my move at the end of the month, I've been thinking more and more about my decision to stay close to Vancouver. It is a very expensive city to live in, but I feel at home here. Am I a fool for staying here when I can't really afford it? Maybe, but I just can't see myself living anywhere else at this point in my life. Jeremy Biberdorf presents My Decision To Live In An Expensive City.
