With the recent upsurge in many credit card annual percentage rates, I wanted to direct your attention to a new resource called “Credit Card Specialist.”

This site is a finance-related website that focuses mainly on credit cards. They do reviews and specials and show you how to sort through the many types of offers that are available.

If you need assistance in finding a credit card that suits your needs (and you even have a chance to apply online), visit the site to learn about low percentage rate and even 0% Credit Card Deals as well as best ways to do Balance Transfers.

I recently opened a new credit card through Amex and transferred some high interest balances over to them for a low rate over the lifetime of the balance. If you’re carrying a balance for your personal or business use, or if you’re looking for a better deal, this site may be for you.

How to Retire Early and Live Well
With Less than a Million Dollars
by Gillette Edmunds

This book is well worth it for those of you who need a back-to-basics approach to minding your money. Gillette Edmunds retired at age 29 and spent his days mastering his ability to manage and grow his own money. His net worth more than tripled and he was able to hone his ideas into a set of time-tested rules. His point is that the typical retirement plan (stocks, mutual funds, bonds, cash) is not set up for someone who is a full-time investor and who needs to see returns for the rest of their lives.

The parts on asset allocation in markets that are unfamiliar to most investors are well-written, timely, and easy-to-understand.

It’s worth a trip to your local bookstore’s personal finance section to get a copy of it!
