It's Thursday, and time for our weekly personal finance round-up, where we list the best of the week's personal finance blog posts.

Partly because we're tired of offending people over the mildest of insults at the most vague groups of people, and partly because it's a Thursday that feels like a Friday, this edition of the Best of Personal Finance is 100% snark-free.

If you have any ideas for the best of personal finance round-up, please share them in the forum.
