The weekend is upon us once again so it’s time for my favorite flavors of the week.

Yesterday marked the end of the ‘Money Matters for All Ages‘ series which ran over the past 10 days on the blogs of M-Network members and friends.

Last Saturday I highlighted the first 6 posts in the series, so today I bring you all the action from week 2 of the money project.

If you didn’t get a chance to read them all, I highly recommend doing so. There’s a little something for everybody in there, whether you’re new parents or easing into the golden years.

I’d also like to try something different here today. Let me explain…

A few weeks ago my friend Pinyo, over at Moolanomy, invited personal finance bloggers to submit their best posts from 2007. Instead of giving a short summary of each article, he included a snippet directly from each post, including one written by yours truly. I really liked that format and would like to try it out here for the flavors of the week.

Please let me know in the comments below if you prefer the ’snippet method’ or a short summary written by me. Without further ado…

My favorite flavors of the past week:

Money Matters for All Ages-the 20’s @ Cash Money Life

Your 20’s is the decade that will set the pace for the rest of your adult life. You are on your own financially, and no one will take care of you and your financial future; it is up to you!

Financial Advice for Your Twenties @ Remodeling This Life

I’ve made some huge mistakes and I think I’ve also made some very sound financial decisions throughout my twenties. Here is a list of things that I either wish I’d known sooner or learned and used to help me navigate my way through my twenties financially.

Money Matters for All Ages…The Chaotic Thirties @ Moolanamy

This is the decade where many of us buy our first home, get married, have our first child (or second, or third…), start savings for kids’ education, try to build retirement savings for ourselves, worry about our parents who are nearing or already in their retirement…

Personal Finance Advice for Your 30s @ My Two Dollars

Your thirties are a great time - you have the ability to still do anything you want in life, you are young enough for any kind of adventure, you still have your full mobility, and you can still figure out how to play a video game.

The Forty-Year-Old’s Wake-Up Call @ Credit Withdrawal

As time marches on, life changes affect you and your family. You go from the Dual Income No Kids yuppie power couple, pulling down huge amounts of money, to the Single Income, Two Children, Oppressive Mortgage, family with 2.5 kids, a dog and a mortgage.

Retirement Objectives in Your 50’s @ Credit Withdrawal

You should be hitting the retirement funds with as much as possible to max them out. You also get to start putting away a little more now that you weren’t able to while in your 40’s. Don’t forget to take advantage of that too. The idea is to squirrel away enough to…

You’re in Your 50s-Wake Up and Start Saving! @ Millionaire Money Habits

You’re in your 50’s and all of your friends are starting to talk about their plans to take an early retirement and moving to the beach house in Florida they always dreamed about. You do the math and choke when you realize that if you want to retire at 65, you will need…

Easing Into the Golden Years: The 60s and Beyond - Right here

Ideally, you have accumulated enough capital through a combination of employee benefits plans and personal investments to produce enough income to live comfortably. Hopefully, over the years, you’ve also developed a few hobbies and other interests to…

The 4% Retirement Rule @ Quest for Four Pillars

The 4% rule is really a guideline rather than a hard and fast rule - If your equities perform better than expected then you can spend a bit more than the 4% rule amount however the opposite is also true, if you encounter a bear market and the value of your portfolio drops then…

Retirement in the U.K. @ Plonkee Money

If you’ve been paying National Insurance contributions for most of your working life, you will have built up entitlement to a state pension. There are two sets of rules, one set for those claiming state pensions before 6th April 2010, and one for those claiming on or after that date.

Well there you have it.

I’m going to leave it at that for this week; allow everyone to catch up and focus on their Money Matters reading. If you’d like a different perspective on the entire series, both Madison at My Dollar Plan and Ana over at DebtFREE Revolution do a great job of wrapping up the entire project.
