"The simple dollar"- for the people who need both cents and sense

During my web search for quality blogs, sites and resources for this blog, I noticed good blogs which not only provide personal experience based advice, but tips and guides, can definatlely help us make our life debt free. These blogs offer many helpful links and resources in this connection.

The Simple Dollar is a personal finance blog. Trent Hamm is the creator behind this blog and this blog is a result of his personal experiences to overcome debts.

The blog helps us to learn simple ways to manage our finances and save money.

Here is the story behind creation of this blog:

(In Hamm's own words)

"My name is Trent Hamm, and in April 2006, I went through a complete financial meltdown. I threw myself head first into trying to figure out every nuance of fixing my financial situation, and after a few months I began to get the picture. Within eight months, I had paid off all of my credit card debt, paid off my vehicle, and also established an emergency fund. Since I have a passion for writing and I had learned so much about how personal finance really works, I established this blog near the end of 2006 to tell the world about what I had learned and help people who were struggling with the same things."

* He is offering few books on finance which are really cheap. I have bought a book about "blogging" for $2 only and it is really informative. I encourage my readers to go to the site and buy one of the books.
