The thing I would point out that I notice about all your suggestions as a whole is that in order to get intense about personal finance you need to crowd out everything else. What I mean is that if you focus on personal finance by reading blogs, books, interviews etc then it is only a matter of time before it begins to have a positive impact on your finances. This in turn is a good thing. You can't help but improve your situation. Good Post.

There is so much turbulence in the market today, and people need peace of mind more than ever. I wanted to offer your readers a link to another blogger who is doing great work. He writes about our 'childhood money messages' and how the best approach to stability in today's market is to resist letting these emotions control our buying/selling habits. It is really fascinating work, and something you should all check out. His name is Spencer Sherman, and you can view his blog at http://www.curemoneymadness.com/blog. This was a great post!

It is one thing to sit there and look at your finances yourself and justify it to yourself. It is a totally differnt story hearing from someone else the things you spend money on. I was at this point about 6 months ago and ever since then I really feel I have taken total control over my finances to the point where I feel confident I am heading in the right direction. I credit my upturn to my parents, girlfriend, and especially the internet because it allowed me to educate myself on ways to fix my faults. Thanks to the blogging community as well.

Having someone that you respect, that is willing to teach you - it can be the most effective tactic. It takes a lot to change old, ingrained habits. Sometimes the easiest way is by "looking up" to someone, even a little bit. I bet most of us would not be where we are today without the people that took the time to mentor and teach us. Excellent article. I am glad that you mentioned finding a mentor. Having someone that you respect, that is willing to teach you – it can be the most effective tactic.
