I came across two sites the other day (I think I got the links from delicious popular) with some interesting financial advice.

The first, titled The Real Tragedy of Student Debt, covers, as you can imagine, the perils of student debt. Anyone that knows a student that is in college or about to go into college should read this.

The second is a blog by Ramit Sethi, titled I Will Teach You To Be Rich. Considering that ~40% of Americans have a credit rating below 650, I think it’s safe to say that a lot of people can learn something from Ramit’s blog.

Choice articles from his blog are It Never Gets Easier Than Now, Why Don’t Schools Teach Personal Finance – Part 1, and Here’s How I Setup My Financial Accounts.

While I’m linking stuff about finance, I should re-link the Frontline special The Secret History the Credit Card. I think I’ve said before, but I’ll say it again. Everyone in America needs to watch this special (It’s free! What are you waiting for?)
