This marks my first attempt to review some of this week’s posts by my fellow bloggers.  Believe it or not, there are other wonderful sources of financial information on the web!  Enjoy!

Banker, Saver asked the question, “Are you FDIC Insured?”  Having worked in the financial field for several years, the author has found herself surprised by how little her customers knew about federal deposit insurance.  Remember, not all investments are covered by the FDIC. 

My Aussie friend at Debt Loans discussed the pros and cons of debt consolidation vs. bankruptcy.  Both are viable options for those buried in debts.  However, choosing the right option depends on the individual situation.

Olivia at Independent Beginnings finished the final installment in her in “Step-By-Step Guide to Financial Independence.”  To wrap up, she discussed the art of building wealth through wise investments.  If you have the time, you should read all 7 part, because she covers a lot of topics well.

My Life Finance gave an update on his CashCrate earnings.  It looks like he has been able to increase these substantially.  I have always been skeptic of this site and others like, but it appears some people are able to make a little cash on the side utilizing it.  Just remember to set up a separate email account if you want to try something like this because your inbox will be filled up quickly!
