This time my guest is a professional financial adviser. And not only that, he is one of the About.com guides where he writes about financial planning. As you’ll see just below, he really has a lot to share - I’ve got the most detailed responses I’ve received so far.

My guest is also a blogger and you may already know him - that’s Jeremy at Generation X Finance - a frequent guest in my “link love” posts as well.

SI: Have you ever been in bad financial trouble? If yes, what did you do to get out of it?

It’s hard to get people talking in the August, that’s why I haven’t published any blitz interviews in the last 1-2 months. But now the silly season is over and I am back with a nice one. This time my guest is a girl again - Tricia from Blogging Away Debt. Sweet, I like girls because they talk more *grin*.

Her blog is focused mostly on avoiding debt, saving and frugality. Let’s hear what she has to say:

Enough geeks, it’s time to invite a military guy for a blitz interview. Do you expect a disciplined and dry officer? Don’t. Patrick from Cash Money Life is very friendly fellow and has a glib tongue. His blog offers a mix of personal finance and personal development topics which makes it quite useful even for those who don’t know what a 401K plan means (i.e. those like me).

So, let’s ask Patrick a few questions:

SI: What’s the importance of the education in your life and finances? Would you be doing better or worse if you hadn’t a degree - and is getting a degree worth it?

Today I had the modest and wise guy who runs My Two Dollars blog to answer a bunch of questions. One of the questions is intentionally very dumb and there is no prize for guessing which one is it. David’s blog is quite balanced and written with a lot of reason so I tried to check if he is as reasonable in his real life.

So, let’s hear David speaking:

SI: Your blog often discusses saving money. Does it work well for you so far? Don’t you regret sometimes for all the things you are not buying because of saving for the future?

Trent from The Simple Dollar is one of my favorite bloggers. Judging by the numbers in his Feedburner chicklet, he’s liked also from at least another 35,000 readers - Trent is quite a popular fellow. In 2007 The Simple Dollar got Performancing award for best business/money blog.

Besides the good posts there you will find some downloadables - just scroll the home page a little bit and you will find them at right.

Enough about the blog. Let’s try to have a look deeper inside Trent’s brain - get your scalpel and join me now:

Yet another nice guy from the IT business comes to share his view about personal finance this week. David writes the Money Ning blog. He has a very interesting story explaining why he is interested in the money related topic. This is one of the reasons why I did not asked him such a super innovative question like “How did you decide to write about personal finance”. Oh well, I came up with 3 other questions instead.

David doesn’t speak too much, but who says that quality equals quantity? Let’s hear his words:

Have you read Jim’s profile? There is some very good stuff in it. I hope you don’t think I am done with the profiles just because I had the most popular personal finance blogger here. There are plenty of other interesting people to interview, and Jaimie from PaidTwice is here to prove that. Her blog shares one reasonable and down to earth approach to money and life.

Ok, enough intro, let’s give the word to Jaimie:

SI: What’s wrong with debt? Some people live in debt all their life and always get into more debt - and they all seem to be happy. Why do you choose to get out of debt?

This time I got a true celebrity at my desk (No, it’s not Paris, I would prefer her elsewhere). But Jim, the bargain hunter from Blueprint for financial prosperity, has already been featured several times on NY Times and now is a guest in my modest blog.

His blog is full of fun and useful advice while the main site offers hot deals and free stuff every day.

Before giving the word to Jim, I’d like to remind you I’ve had other great guests before, so make sure to check them too.

Are all the personal finance bloggers software engineers? Maybe not, but I have three of three so far - Lazy Man is my third guest and he is also an IT fellow working in the Silicon Valley.
(If by any chance this introduction does not make sense to you, this is because you have not read the previous investor profiles on this blog).

As usual, I shoot three quick questions to Lazy Man and best of all, I got pretty interesting responses. (Oh and he even provided me with handy HTML - I love techies). Check them out yourself:

In the first investor’s profile - The Silicon Valley Blogger - I got a pretty interesting conversation with the SVB. If you have not read that, better check it out. Now it’s time for the second one.

Pinyo is the cool guy writing one of the most popular blogs about personal finance - Moolanomy. He is 34 years old, married and yet another IT-mate. Besides his blog Pinyo rules the personal finance field with few other projects. To the best of my knowledge the most popular of them is also the freshest one - PF Buzz - a Digg-like personal finance network. If you have a PF related blog, make sure to submit your articles there and get targeted traffic. Unlike on Digg, you have the chance to get your content promoted even if you don’t write about Windows Vista or Paris Hilton.
