Everything You Ever Really Needed to Know About Personal Finance On Just One Page

Not too long ago, Trent from The Simple Dollar published a list of his 25 favorite personal finance, career and personal development blogs, and guess who made the list. Yep, Trent felt CleverDude.com was worthy of his daily attention. And, thanks to the wonders of alphabetization, I made it near the top of his list, garnering loads of link love.

Well, now that I’m finally catching up on some of my linking duties, I’d like to call out another of Trent’s articles, which is an eBook titled

“ Everything You Ever Really Needed to Know About Personal Finance On Just One Page“:

While the PDF itself is 49 pages, the core is the first page where Trent simplifies the 5 most basic tenets of wise personal finance management:

  • Spend less than you earn
  • Live frugal
  • Earn more
  • Manage money
  • Control your own destiny

The remainder of the eBook provides a wealth of Trent’s prior writings to back up his one-pager, recommended books and, of course, lists his 25 favorite PF, PD and career blogs.

I’ll be sharing my story of our own success with Trent’s one-page (although we reached that success before the one-page came out), so keep an eye out for it this week.

And go check out Trent’s One-Page!
