Weekend Reading – Out with the old, in with the new across the blogosphere

Headlining the Weekend Reading list, read about Andrew Hallam’s inspirational story of beating cancer and how his battle helped simplify his investment portfolio. A great article…

As my blogpost title suggests many bloggers reflected upon 2012 and looked ahead to 2013 over the last week. Check out some of these interesting articles from the world of personal finance and investing.

See you next week, when I intend to report my dividend income for December 2012 and the entire year.

Have a great weekend!

Ellen Roseman announced some new personal finance books ready for reading in 2013.

Interesting line-up for the start of January and new year. It’s amazing how these lists get you discovering amazing blogs. I started off with Modest Money and it seems there an entire Canadian finance blogosphere I’ve been blind to for way too long. I don’t yet know how to define it but there is a distinct spirit up here from what I know from US American financial blogs.

Mark!!!!
Thanks for the inclusion in a solid roundup.
Hope 2013 is treating you well, and that you’re not too exhausted from all the snow shoveling up in the big “O”. Have a great weekend!

Thanks! As for your portfolio, I’m sure you already know this, keep your fees as low as possible for as long as possible. That’s one of the keys to financial freedom. Oh yeah, and no mortgage 😉

Have a great weekend!

Hey mate! That’s quite the list! Looking forward to your dividend update for the year. We’ll be meeting with our advisor soon but I’m sure it’s not as exciting as your dividend update. I hope to start investing something on my own this year. Not sure where, when or how but I’m sure I’ll get help from the pros along the way. Cheers Mr.CBB
