Consumerism Commentary is a personal finance blog. The writers are not necessarily financial professionals, so readers should not make any important decisions based on the information published here alone. If you want solid financial advice, seek a trained financial adviser, not a blog.
Flexo created Consumerism Commentary in 2003 in order to hold himself accountable for his finances. “Although I had a rocky experience with my money following my undergraduate studies, by the time I started this blog I was on the path to being in ‘decent financial shape.’ In order to take the next step, I believed starting a blog would help. My plan was to regularly publish my account balances and spending information so I could publicly track them over time and perhaps gain support from readers.”
In 2007, Consumerism Commentary expanded to include an additional author, Sasha. Read more about the authors here.
Consumerism Commentary has been mentioned in the “mainstream media” as well as other popular online publications. We have been mentioned in the Wall Street Journal twice, as well as named as Yahoo’s Ten Money Blogs Everyone Should Read, in addition to a number of others. Consumerism Commentary was featured in BusinessWeek Online and the reporter managed to grab a few quotes from me on the topic of blogging about money. The article was later syndicated on Yahoo Finance. Most recently, Consumerism Commentary was named in Kilpinger’s Personal Finance Magazine (print edition) as a Must-Read Blog.
