As those blogs plays a major role on influencing the readers, I think it would be just great eye opener for them to see the real world and be free of those unworthy expenses.

I think the retail sales were low for may because people ran out of their income tax money and are now trying to make up any late bills they may have. Also bloggers are great at not just giving financial advice, but they find deals online from other countries that the products are just as good if not better and they price is more than half the cost.

Sam, really relevanat post. I have read the traditional media for years, and the personal finance bloggers for a much shorter time period. I learn from both…. it is amazing the caliber of writing as well as the level of insight of the personal finance bloggers. I am regularly amazed at the professionalism of the blogging community ESPECIALLY THE YAKEZIE members. Thanks for a thought provoking post, Barb

you strike a cord here. you are totally right and this is a HUGE problem. over the past 2 years many of the top news stations would tell stories about stocks or companies. Since most people don’t read the WSJ (wall street journal) or Forbes or even the local paper but just watch “Fast Money” or any of these cable TV shows they think they got a hot tip and go for it..

this is why so many people got burned because they were acting like sheep and simply followed the leader vs. doing their own research.

It would seem that we’re having a significant impact on the financial world… And rightfully so. After all… We’re all about affecting the dosh that’s circulating around the world, no?

From warriors, cartoonists, fathers to dragons, it would seem our image as bloggers is growing in this particular niche. It’s a nice feeling, isn’t it? <3
