Each week I read a vast amount on blogs about debt, investing, saving money and there’s always a special few that are too good to be kept a secret. Now that October is upon us it’s time for me to check back on my personal finance bookmarks and choose a few to share with anyone stopping by at Money Stand. Here’s my favourite blog posts from around the net that were published in September:

1. Execellent Post at GenX Finance on saving money by doing your own home maintenance. This is great advice and a very comprehensive list.

2. Such a great idea which I will personally be taking on board is this post from Growing Money about getting money back from those who have borrowed from you. I’ve lent out more money than I care to remember and it’s so difficult to ask for it back.

3. I came across this post on Debt Kid yesterday which is really how to acheive debt free living in a nutshell. It covers the three main points I always talk about on MoneyStand and is really well written.

4. Over at Debt Management Tips they wrote an article at the start of the month about tackling student debt. If you’re a recent graduate like myself, it’s worth a good read.

5. If you’re considering buying your own home or trying to find out about mortgages, read this inciteful article about how to pay off a 30 year mortgage in 15 years at Consumerism Commentary.

If you missed these posts and any of them interest you, I thoroughly recommend you take the time to have a read!
