Year-End Deals: Save 71% – SmartMoney [1-Year Subscription] [Magazine Subscription] [Print] December 27, 2007

Posted by Vedis in : Buy Year-End Deals , comments closed

SmartMoney [1-Year Subscription] [Magazine Subscription] [Print] strikes a good balance between investment advice and information or articles that deal with the other aspects of your financial life.

Among the features I look forward to every month:

Ten Things: A “watch out” list of 10 things that you should know about the different professionals you interact with (your dentist, your accountant, a real estate broker, etc.). Always an eye-opener.
Stock Screen: Paul Sturm is a knowledgeable, value-oriented journalist who puts together a list each month of 8-10 stocks that make it through a rigid screen of several characteristics.

Each month, he features a different screen and he uses a good mix of quantitative characteristics and common sense to generate the list.
Feature articles that profile common people and the serious personal finance problems they have endured (e.g., collecting on insurance, fighting the IRS, traveling overseas).

SmartMoney [1-Year Subscription] [Magazine Subscription] [Print] is frequently compared to Money magazine, but Money is often more narrowly focused on investing and it sometimes dumbs down its articles.

I also read BusinessWeek, Forbes and Fortune regularly. While they all have their place, none provides the depth and common sense focus of SmartMoney when it comes to personal finance.

I have photocopied and saved countless articles and I sometimes refer to them years later. … my advice is to get a subscription now for SmartMoney [1-Year Subscription] [Magazine Subscription] [Print]- it’s definitely worth it.
