I’ve been doing some part-time writing for Lending Club (kinda a side-job thing! helps pay for my place to sleep!) and spent a good amount of time putting together a list of the Top 30 Most Popular Finance Bloggers.

I was lucky to get to be a beta-tester of the new online finance application mint.com. I wouldn’t usually write reviews like this, but I even shared this site with some of my family members because I thought it was so cool.
