Along with its competitors, Google and Microsoft, Yahoo has now stepped onto the personal finance bandwagon by opening its very own "Yahoo Personal Finance" section.  The bloggers at ContentBlogger explain that this site, launched Friday, "is a well-designed amalgam of news, expert and user opinions,
how-to-guides, calculators, glossary terms and data to support focusing
on personal banking, budgeting, real estate and retirement planning."

We recommend using the How-To Guides as a great tool for getting advice on mortgage banking, getting out of debt, making a budget work in your home and how much it will cost to send your kids to college. These are just a few of the on line basics out of hundreds of tips, tricks, and information you receive just by clicking on a topic.  Is it really necessary to spend thousands of dollars per year to receive financial advice from a licensed institution?  See for yourself.
