Jim’s Note: I am off on a vacation this week. That’s right, I have R-U-N-N-O-F-T (see the excellent movie “O Brother, Where Art Thou?” to understand the reference). In lieu of my regular LinkSharing, I’ve reprinted the below, with a few additions of my own, from Ben at Money Smart Life. Thanks, Ben!
Financial Advisor Websites With Blogs
Financial advisor websites are often little more than an online brochure explaining the qualifications and services of the financial planners that run them. Of course these advisors are busy watching over the personal finances of their clients so it makes sense that they don’t have a lot of extra time to write articles for their website about investing, retirement, cash flow, etc.
However, there are a growing number of financial planners and advisors that are sharing their thoughts on personal finance on their websites, often in the form of a blog. Not only does it help potential clients get to know a little more about them and their financial philosophies, it’s also useful for the rest of us since they sometimes share some valuable personal finance insights.
I’ve put together a list of the financial advisor blogs that I’ve run across over the past few years online. When you have a few minutes check out the financial topics they’re discussing on their blogs:

You’re welcome, Cathy. I have to give credit for the idea (and the original post) to Ben, though.
