Every week thousands of great personal finance articles get published. Heck, I published nine articles last week alone spanning across three great websites (including FF). Some articles don’t get enough praise, and others get more than their fair share, but every article shares hard work and thoughts put into it in order to be published.
Here’s this weekend’s Finance Fox Weekend Recap. We hope you enjoy this week’s recap with 7 great reads you might have missed, and see us again right here next weekend where we’ll do it all over again.

Sustainable Personal Finance – It’s never good to keep up with the Joneses, as we rarely know the full story, and the why’s, what’s, and how’s.

My Own Advisor – We’ve often heard the saying, “It’s never too late to plan for retirement”, but how much truth there is in that? Mark shares his blunt answer that may disgust some 50 year olds or those just around the corner in his post called – Age 50 is too late to start saving for retirement.

Yeah, I probably disgusted a few 50-year-olds. Oh well. What is a blog if it can’t be a bit controversial sometimes? :)
Thanks for the mention Eddie. That flag above has me thinking about golf today :)

Hi Mark,
You’re welcome for the mention. Nothing wrong with your post, you’re entitled to your opinion. Far too many articles written by most are “goody-goody”, great job for stepping outside the norm. I will definitely be golfing today – post sales meeting golf.
Helpful post. Looking forth to the next one.
Provided that you sustain this quality. I’m sure you will definitely have a lot of visitors in no time.
All the best, and definitely checking for your further content.
