Canadian Budget Binder-Personal Finance Weekly Reading List #1

This is Personal Finance Weekly Reading at it’s best brought to you by yours truly Mr. CBB. It’s the first days of the 2013 New Year and I’ve changed this post name in hopes of capturing fans to drop in and check out the amazing weekly reads that I find around the web. I read alot of personal finance articles and frugal recipe blogs every week who share everything from personal finance advice to making something delicious in the kitchen. Near the end of 2012 I started to branch out and network with other Bloggers around the web to learn more about the message they wanted to share. When I drop in to read a blog post and comment I do so because I learned something from that blog post and I know that my fans will as well.

I’ve also been learning alot about blogging and some of the mistakes I’ve made and some of the mistakes I’m glad I didn’t make. Learning how to blog is not as easy as I anticipated especially if you want to build a successful website but the more you learn about what happens behind the scenes the easier it becomes. I am glad I read blogging for dummies before going live as it was a stepping stone into a world that I am almost one year into and enjoying. If it helps keep you organized you can head over to my mate Sicorra’s page at Tackling Our Debt and download her free Blog Planner. She put this together to help other Bloggers stay organized. Canadian Budget Binder will be one year old at the end of January and with that comes a give-away so stay tuned for lots of updates and a new blog design!

This Blog was created with the mindset that Canadians and those around the world may want to learn how to get their financial health in order. I like to think that debt is debt, money is money no matter where you live. In 2013 I plan to make some new Blogger friends and continue to build relationships with my current Blogger friends who all know how appreciative I am to be part of their network. I’ll be posting this post every Friday and sharing with you a glimpse of some of the best finance and recipe posts that I read from around the web. With all this talk about the “Fiscal Cliff” and how it will attach itself to our rear ends I think that we should be proactive in our journey towards debt freedom, retirement and for some early retirement. I always refer back to the crystal ball and am proud that I just did what I felt was best for us. If 2013 is the year you want to make a difference to your finances take the step forward and claim your rights as an individual to understand and put your money to work for you. A budget is our success formula and will always be a part of our life and I hope you make it a part of yours. -Mr.CBB
