Weekly Round-Up: Learning About Money Edition

American financial news this week has been a roller coaster. The market is reacting to the news of the government’s legislative branch couldn’t approve the bailout and it finally passing. People are still debating whether the measures in the bailout will work. The big question for me is how it’ll affect my family and neighborhood.

Wachovia was going to picked up by Citigroup then Wells Fargo, and now Citigroup may fight that. It’s sad that accountability still is elusive in this mess.

I was looking for posts this week that empowered readers with a better idea of their finances. I hope you enjoy this week’s top 10.
