Introducing the College Money Network

by Broke Grad on July 17, 2008

Get out your laptops, it’s time to add another personal finance blog network to the list. “Why,” you ask? Because this one is different, I swear.

What do you get when six college-age/twenty-something personal finance bloggers get together on the Internet?

College Money Network

Okay, that wasn’t a very funny joke, but that’s because it’s not a joke!

I’m excited to announce the launch of the College Money Network. We are a diverse group of college students, grad students, and recent grads who blog about money related topics that relate to the lives of college students and twenty-somethings. We cover everything from student loans to credit card debt to adjusting to the real world with plenty of other topics sprinkled in between.

Now for a quick introduction to the rest of the College Money Network:

What can you expect from the CMN?

Frat parties, spring formals, barbeques, foam parties, pop quizzes, water balloon fights, beer pong, snowball fights, winter formals, cold pizza, the smell of weed, final exams, and spring break. NOT.

Instead, you’ll find the College Money Network members working together on group writing projects, promoting each others’ blogs, and maybe even hosting the occasional giveaway contest. By collaborating with each other, we hope to put together content that is better than any of us could create individually.

To give you a better chance to know everyone, I’ll be interviewing each member of the College Money Network over the next few weeks. Be sure to come back or, even better, subscribe to my feed so you don’t miss anything.

Nice intro, and thanks again for being the brains behind the whole thing!

Sounds like a good group, with posts relevant to my own situation. I’ll be tuning in.

Congratulation and best of luck to your network.

Twenty-something and struggling with tuition cost is tough, but understandable. I’m 51 and working on my Ph.D. after putting two kids through college as a single mother. Talk about BROKE–you don’t even know the meaning of the word. I’ll be collecting social security (if it’s still around) before I put a dent in my student loans.
