How do you keep yourself financially informed?

post #1 of 2
Thread Starter 

So, I'm curious what everyone else reads because I know where I get my information but I don't know where everyone else gets theirs!

 

I have a student price subscription to The Economist that I have a hard time parting with.  I don't get to read magazines quickly enough to borrow them from the library and this one is critical for me--so I bought the subscription.  I'm trying to figure out what I can trade my neighbor for since he gets his free with flyer miles and said that he doesn't get to read it quick enough and tosses them.  He was suggesting that he just take my leftovers (except I tend to keep at least every third or fourth issue  :/  ).  But I love it for the bigger picture.

 

I have a twitter feed to The Economist, Wall St. Journal, Suze Orman and Robert Kiyosaki.

 

Book-wise, my favorites are "Raising Financially Fit Kids" and "Rich Dad, Poor Dad".  But I regularly recommend out Dave Ramsey's "Financial Peace Planner" for people who really need to get a handle on handling their money.

 

I DO actually skim through the Yahoo headlines when I go to my mail account.  Occasionally I do find somewhat useful information there.  I gave them more attention when I saw that they linked out to Forbes, MSN, etc.

 

But I know I'm missing stuff. 

 

I'm trying to think of what else...  whaddaya got to keep yourself financially fit & informed??

Mine is a mix of print - books and newspapers (on the web) and broadcast -

 

The New York Times

NPR - Marketplace (available as daily podcast) and Planet Money podcast

Dave Ramsey's radio show and The Total Money Makeover book

 

 

I'm a huge NPR listener (and a local AM station with all-local programming), so I also get a lot just from regular news stories.

 

Note: I'm tv-free.
