The Money Diaries

Posted by: elle & ish on: July 12, 2009

If you’ve ever wondered how some people spend/save their money, check out Ramit’s Money Diaries Series.  Most of the diaries are from 20-somethings with varying degrees of financial health.  Here are a few articles worth checking out:

The Money Diaries: The young employee about to lose her job because of the economy

The Money Diaries: The spoiled 20-something used to living beyond his means

The Money Diaries: The 20-something emotional spender

Be sure to read the commentary and suggestions as well.  Personal finance is such a touchy subject, so having real-life examples with hard numbers are a great way to put your own financial situation in perspective.
