		<description>I believe the Personal Finance is a hot topic especially in the current financial crisis condition. Most of my friend never think about their personal finance and when the crisis happen (and the money is quickly run out), they start to worry about their financial future. It is very sad to see some people near the retirement are very shock to find out that their retirement saving is lost more than 40% of their value (They don&#039;t understand that the stock market can go up and down). Many of them decide to delay their retirement, unfortunately some of them don&#039;t have any choice or time.  

I personally have a quite good money management and totally agree that people need to pay more attention to their personal finance. Personal Finance should not be complicated with a lot of finance jargon :-) 

Spend less that you earn is always good start.

Cheers

		<description>Yeah, I guess any kind of hangover comes with some regrets. Better late than never! Thanks for your comment.</description>

		<description>It will be interesting to see if people get less frugal once this thing blows over or whether they&#039;ll find that they enjoy their new lifestyle and just keep paying down debt and saving. Thanks for stopping by Mrs. Money!</description>

		<description>It like the sun came up, the party ended and we are paying for it with a horrible financial hangover.
I agree there has been a huge surge in people suddenly becoming frugal/financially savvy (myself, included).  I just wish I did it sooner!</description>

		<description>I definitely think there has been a boom in personal finance.  I think the recession spurred a lot of frugal living and I hope that doesn&#039;t go away!
