Every once in a while I like to showcase a new or “newish” blog that I really like and I don’t think a lot of my readers know about. This time I’m talking about Tough Money Love. I really like this American blog because the auther is very opiniated. Too many blogs are just plain boring – they write for search engines, they compile lists of ways to save money on groceries….boring, boring, boring! TML tells it like it is and doesn’t mind if he offends a few people on the way.
- A recent post which is one of my favourites – Vanity is on sale – a very amusing and sarcastic post.
- Another pointless credit sob story – I’ve stopped caring – If you borrow too much money and run into trouble then don’t be expecting any sympathy from TML!
- And finally a timely post after my own heart – TML says to cut down on consumerism at Christmas time.

Ron from the The Wisdom Journal had a post on the Canadian banking system which is the soundest in the world. His description of US investment banks was priceless:
…US banks, which operate like a mix between a Wild West cowboy, a suckling piglet, a guy who wants to sell you a Rolex from the trunk of his car, and a two year old throwing a fit while screaming “MINE! MINE! MINE!”

Thanks for the link!
Hmm, my last blog post was titled Shevy, Rationalizing!
I really do see the value in having a functional bathroom and not having to pay for it until January 2010. But I don’t like adding to our debt load with that $500 odd. But the bathroom won.
Shevy, I think you can be forgiven for wanting a bathroom. 🙂
