I thought I’d wrap this week up with a quick review of what we’ve covered so far this month and also what we’re going to be talking about in the next few weeks in the March Money Month.

In the last week we’ve talked mainly about debt, the week before we looked at what it meant to be rich and what it all means.  Specifically we’ve looked at:

What it means to be rich

A book review of rich dad poor dad

The secrets of getting rich

The differences between good and bad debt and how to control bad debt

A Book review of  I will teach you to be rich

and finally, Are you going to retire rich or are you going to retire dead?

Next week we’re going to talk about controling your spending and then we’re going to cover savings and investments and lifehacking your finances.

We’re going to close the month by looking at a special challenge which you can join in with…more on this in a couple of weeks.

So, what have you done in March is Money Month? Let us know in the comments below.

    Hi Matthew,

    These articles were great basic articles about money and I’m looking forward to your ones next week.

    I have been thinking a lot about my financial situation and what have I done? I’ve paid down one of my LoCs which will be totally paid off next month. Plus, I am pretty proud that I haven’t used my credit card in over two months. I already have a retirement and emergency funds, but I’m starting to increase my USD fund (CAD is almost at par with USD) so that I’m saving to my trip to Vegas in the fall. I’m happy that I’m saving for it each month, rather than just putting it on the credit card. Overall, I’m happy with what I’ve done this month :-)

    Hi Karen, thanks so much for your comment. I fundamentally believe that many people could be in better shape and in giving the advice in a whole block (over the month) will hopefully inspire a few people to take ownership of their situation.

    I’m not sure what an LoC is? But the words paying it off sounds fantastic. I think you’re doing absolutely the right thing with saving up for your holiday, it gives you something to aim for and you can have 100% guilt free spending. Thanks again for the comment!

    Hi Matthew,

    A LoC is a Line of Credit. :-)

    Ah! It’s not a common UK term applied to individuals. It’s would generally be referred to as simply a loan here. With businesses it’s more common.

    Thanks for clarification!
