As you have perhaps already heard, I am the lucky new owner of Green Panda Treehouse for about a month now. Since our recent  purchase, I’ve been approached by a group of bloggers to create a blog network (another one!)

What is Money Mavens?

I’d say that our group has something different to offer than other Personal Finance networks in the blogosphere; each of us are “experts” in a specific niche of personal finance. This is why the content you read on my blog will be different than others. Since personal finance is such a broad topic, it is a great news that you have access to all these experienced bloggers through this network.

We do run group projects once in a while based on readers’ questions or simply inspiration. So if you have a topic you want us to cover, please send me an email to green.panda.treehouse(at)gmail(dot)com.

We will be starting a group project in the next few days… stay tuned!

In the meantime, here is a description of the bloggers who make up the Money Mavens:

Money Mavens Network Members

Canadian Finance Blog

Canadian Finance Blog is the Canadian source for personal finance.  The site covers universal topics such as how to invest wisely as well as tips on how you can save money on everyday expenses and bills.  As one of the leading sites based in Canada, numerous topics that matter to Canadians are covered, including RRSPs, TFSAs and Canadian taxes.

Enemy of Debt

Brad Chaffee founded Enemy of Debt in 2008 in an effort to motivate and inspire financial discipline by focusing on behavior and truth. Brad feels that by learning personal responsibility, debt free principles, and the importance of planning people can learn how to take control of their finances one step at a time.

Fiscal Geek

FiscalGeek focuses on Personal Finance from the view of a Geek. Paul makes no apologies about his inner geekdom, and that is why his audience appreciates him so much. He spreads his knowledge about finance and technology to help his readers improve their fiscal fitness, one spreadsheet at a time.

Green Panda Treehouse

I work in the financial industry and am specialized in personal finance. I’m always trying to find ways to make more money creatively instead of waiting for my pay check every two weeks. I love to try different things and will post true stories about them. I am currently building my own online business while working 4 days a week at my day job.

JoeTaxpayer

JoeTaxpayer is the founder of the eponymous www.JoeTaxpayer.com where he has been blogging on various financial topics for over three years. He is interested in all aspects of financial planning with a strong focus on tax issues and retirement planning. Joe is also a frequent contributor and one of the moderators of the Usenet group misc.taxes.moderated and guest blogger at the TurboTax blog.

Len Penzo dot Com

When it comes to writing about the world of personal finance, Len definitely marches to the beat of his own drummer! In a uniquely irreverent and highly-entertaining style, Len covers a broad array of money topics, with an emphasis on personal responsibility and running your household like a business – just like he has done successfully for the past 20 years.

Money Help For Christians

Money Help For Christians (MH4C) promotes a frugal, simple, debt-free, and generous lifestyle so Christians can faithfully maximize their resources by putting them at the disposal of God’s Kingdom. MH4C is committed to providing relevant resources in order to assist Christians in this effort.

The Oblivious Investor

At The Oblivious Investor, Mike writes about ways to invest successfully without having to watch the market from day to day or month to month. He covers topics like asset allocation, building low-maintenance portfolios, and making the most out of your retirement accounts.

Wealth Pilgrim

Wealth Pilgrim is about financial balance.  On the one hand, Neal believes most of all of us can do better financially.  Spend more mindfully, invest smarter, get better educated, make sure we maximize our earnings.  On the other hand, there are some things that are beyond our control. Rather than allow those realities diminish our joy in life, Neal feels we should learn to accept them and find joy in those limitations. Neal writes about finding this balance on his blog Wealth Pilgrim.
