Personal Finance Review – Dragon Naturally Speaking Edition

I know by now you’re probably tired of hearing me talk about carpal tunnel but I have to share a nifty trick for anyone with sore wrists.  I tried out Dragon Naturally Speaking for sending e-mails and writing this post and it’s a wrist saver!  It takes a little getting used to but it’s pretty smart software and comes in handy if you don’t want to type.  Since I’ve been writing less, I’ve had more time to read this week.  Here’s a round up of personal finance articles this week.

– Generation X Finance talks about how much money you need when you retire

– The Digerati Life asks how you’re building your net worth

– Money, Matter, & More gives some tips on buying a used car

– Binary Dollar offers some mortgage lessons

– Sun says goodbye to Emigrant Direct

– Lazy Man tells us why we should complain about gas prices

– Free Money finance offers a tip on how to stop the flood of credit card offers

– Five Cent Nickel has a poll on favorite mutual fund companies

– Consumerism commentary lists 10 ways to prepare financially for a baby

– Mighty Bargain Hunter asks how far you would go for good eBay feedback

– Advanced Personal Finance lists 10 ways to save money in your budget
