For the past 10 years, I’ve been the administrator of the Personal Finance Bloggers group on LinkedIn — a group dedicated to sharing personal finance posts, tips for bloggers, and general financial news.
It’s not something I’ve ever highlighted here — and that’s about to change.
Starting this week, we’ll be sharing some of the highlights from the group here on Automatic Finances.
The topics will range — they’re not always about financial automation — so you’ll get a nice diversity of thoughts and suggestions about managing your money and growing your net worth.
Here are this week’s links.

Student loans are now the largest source of unsecured debt in the United States and have become a financial industry in their own right. Complete with its own secondary market and student loan asset-backed securities.
