Ok, here is what I found to be best in the last month in the personal finance blogs I read. By the way I am open to hear about a new blog if you want to share. Just hit the comment and let me know.

One of the best articles as usually comes from The Simple Dollar - he has a very original list of 24 ways to save money.

The bloggers keep being quite frugal in the last few months, probably due to the recession. The Silicon Valley Blogger suggested 8 simple ways to save a thousand bucks.

There are several keys to successful domain investing:

• Finding good domains which can bring profit
• Buying the domains at good price
• Getting the most profits of the domain names
• Flipping the domains at good price (optional)

Based on the performance of several investments I am watching (many of them are reviewed in the Picks category) I would advice against investing in them at the moment.

Here are they:

1. GalleonFX. This year their performance is pathetic. Since my investment in July 2007 I am not in profit, but in 30% loss. See the full review about them.

2. TradeWindowFX. I don’t have particular reason to suspect them, but then don’t update their performance for months. Not very professional. Read the full review here.

The most straightforward method to earn supplemental income is through doing some extra work. I don’t advocate it as being the best, but it’s one of the least risky and most predictable things you can do.

I know most people in personal finance say “don’t work for money, make your money work for you” and I fully support this position. But that’s easier said than done. If your income barely covers your expense, you have a little chance to succeed by passive investing.

It’s been a while since the last pick I have posted because I am focusing more on conceptual articles and supplemental income ideas due to the results of this poll.

But I know many readers have free money and want to invest them for good profits, so I have not forgotten what gathers us all here. I’ve been quite disappointed by most managed forex accounts I am observing, that’s why I am looking more into other kind of trading programs (like Futures and Options).

So, here we go:

When was the last time you regret about investing your money somewhere? And when was the last time when you regret for not investing them? To me the first happens very rare, but the second - every day. Missing good opportunities is not the only mistake that small investors make.

Keep your eye on any of the following:

1. Investing more than you can afford
Any chance that you have not done that ever? I do this mistake all the time. I see a good investment opportunity and am ready to arrange funds for it even if I am not in the best financial situation at that moment.

Exactly one month ago I conducted a quick poll with you. Do you remember it - What is the main hurdle on your way to financial success?. If you have missed to vote, the poll is still open, please do it.

As I wrote at the time on posting it, I did not create the poll just for my pleasure. I wanted to understand what really is troubling you the most on your way to achieving your financial goals. On the second place are 33% of the readers who lose money because of bad investment decisions. We are already working hard on this together, don’t we? It’s a long process and I believe we’re all learning and doing better with the time. And don’t forget that making mistakes and losing money is not that bad.

I don’t often participate in blog carnivals, neither bother you much with them, but this one has some real value. Visit the carnival at USNews and note that my real estate post was also included.

You’ll see some posts of the best personal finance bloggers there, so it’s worth reading. Almost as good as my monthly “link love” selection *grin*.

Real estate investing is dumb. Really, see what happens after a mortgage crisis. If you just buy real estate because everyone says it’s cool you are making a stupid mistake. Real estate investing is dumb when done in the way everyone does it.

If you put some thought into it however it might turn into a tool offering one of the best risk/ROI ratios in the investment world. I have two general strategies which work in almost every real estate market and almost independently on the current market conditions. The strategies are simple and not secret and they are quite involved. This is what makes them so good - no matter how many people know them, very few are those who use them well, so there is plenty place for you if you wish to try.
