Yet another month in which I saw what the quality of StumbleUpon traffic is. The visual guide How to live the life of your dreams made a lot of visits, especially on the first day it was stumbled. But most of these visitors come, read the article and just go. The social media traffic is not very useful (unless you get them on sales page, but that would be quite hard).

Ok, time for the most interesting personal finance posts from February:

wellheeled asks whether paying with credit card equals spending more money. My answer is yes, but see what others think.

Few links that deserve your attention from the past month. In December I ignored the recession, but in January there were some really good ones:

Jim at Blueprint For Financial Prosperity suggests that you should not worry for the stock market, but invest in family. And yourself, I would add.

Most of the bloggers (including me) in the last month were discussing the recession in one or another way. I am a bit tired of talking about it - with or without our talks the recession is here and we have to deal with it. So I have decided to select the best posts of November that don’t directly discuss the crisis. Here you go:

Steve Olson is not exactly a PF blogger, but his wife has a post that I want to share with you, because it really contains very useful insights - Want to Start a Small Business on the Internet? The Myths and the Reality.

I’ve not written much the last month for the reason I haven’t much interesting ideas to share. I don’t like posting just for the sake of it and regardless the loss of traffic, I prefer not to do it. With so many personal finance bloggers however, there are enough who had interesting things to say in October, so here are they selected for you. Who said that I don’t value your time?

Jim at Blueprint for Financial Prosperity has compiled a cool list of 50 Financial Skills Every Person Needs To Know.
