Bo to your public library and for that minimal fee most libraries have online newspapers as part of their membership. I pay $10 a year for my library card, and I can read over 30 newspapers from around the world once I log in. Saves a ton and I get to read different perspectives on all sorts of topics.

I get these magazines at my local library for free to keep. I stopped taking AARP because it always told about the people who were “rich” and not your every day person.I also get it free now.

When I was in college I enjoyed the Wall Street Journal – they gave business students a great discount. Our local paper is now starting to publish a few pages from the WSJ each week in their business section. I like the news format.

I also cancelled my Money subscription. I couldn’t relate to people that put over half a million dollars into home renovations and having DINK lifestyles. It appeals to the very upper middle to rich income groups. Also, their stock recommendations are not timely, if it is published for the masses, it is too late. They always report what is hot when it is peaked. Low cost index funds are the way to go. Read Paul Farrell’s “The lazy person’s guide to investing”.

Money magazine is easy to grasp and great for recent grads just starting to get their financial cards in order.

I used to subscribe to Money, but their family profiles turned me off. It seemed like every family was earning $100,000+ and had at least a quarter-million in net worth. Maybe that’s their target audience, but it just didn’t seem that “real” to me. I would have liked to see a variety of profiles from just-scraping-by to more wealthy. Not to mention after about a year of reading, the stuff gets repetitive.
