If you haven’t heard, BarCampBham3 is May 2nd. This is going to be my first BarCamp and I must say that I’m very excited about it. Here is a excerpt from barcampbirmingham.org that better explains what it is all about:
BarCampBirmingham is a user generated conference created around an open, participatory workshop-event, with content provided by participants.

So this is the final post of this rather long series (part 1, 2, 3, 4, 5) about free personal finance tools available today. I had no idea how many personal finance tools were out there before I started putting this series together. That said, the goal was to find the best tool I could find, so it’s good to have a bunch of options to look at… right? The final tool of the series might be the youngest tool of all of them, with a completely different spin. read more…
