Welcome Wise Bread readers

It's GREAT to have you here. So great we're going with the 2-handed handshake.

 

Hi. If you haven’t been here before, we’re the one personal finance blog that believes that shaming you into doing the right thing is more effective than coddling. We’ve guest posted on Financial Samurai, Financial Highway, Free From Broke, Consumerism Commentary, The Writer’s Coin, Credit Card Chaser, MoneyFunk, Planting Dollars, 20sMoney, My Journey to Millions, LenPenzo.com and about a billion others. We offer unconventional advice (don’t give to charity, don’t buy Christmas gifts) and deconstruct what you read in the media, among other things. So thanks for stopping by and please, browse the archives, leave a comment, and if you’re inclined, buy the best personal finance book ever written.

Festival of Stocks (preview)

The Festival of Stocks touches down at Control Your Cash on Monday the 11th (Columbus Eve.) If you’re unfamiliar with the concept, it’s a weekly roundup of blog posts about stocks. It originated at Value Investing News, where you can learn more about how it works and see this week’s festival in action.

Value Investing News’ founder, George, is a model of speed and efficiency. No sooner did we agree to host next week’s than he’d already publicized it (this was like 2 hours ago.) And we’ve already received our first submission, so it’s about time we told you folks how to get on board.

If you’re a reader, you don’t have to do anything except check back here Monday. If you’re a blogger, submit your articles here. This is no guarantee you’re going to get selected. We put exclusively interesting and original content on Control Your Cash, and we’re not going to change our M.O. just because we’re hosting other folks’ content.

The deadline for submission is 11:59 p.m. Sunday (Eastern Time). We’ll take the best and put ’em up pronto.
