The seventh edition is available at In Cash Flow We Trust (great name!). Here are the ones I think you really shouldn’t miss:

Moneywise (The Real Returns) has a good brief article doing the math on how you’re losing money when you invest in some treasuries when you take into account taxes and inflation.

I wish I found Dan’s article on Mortgage Provider Red Flags on his blog, Searchlight Crusade, before I bought a house (None of these red flags happened, but the fact is I didn’t know them, a big no-no). I added his blog to my Bloglines since his tagline (”Consumer information from those who know the system. And more.”) intrigues me, I look forward to his posts.
