Plutus Awards

I’m breaking my usual Thursday vow of silence to pass along the news that Bad Money Advice has been nominated for a Plutus Award. I am particularly proud of the category: Most Controversial Personal Finance Blog. Fans of BMA might want to drop by the site and show their support. I’d appreciate it, and the other nominees may as well, as they likely achieved controversy less intentionally.

DONE! Good luck with that… I also voted for Get Rich Slowly and Big Picture… they were the only 2 other blogs I peruse. Yours is much more fun to read, tho… I’m surprised you weren’t in the “humor” category as well.
By Adam, February 25, 2010 @ 10:46 am

Congrats! I voted for you!
By Andrew Stevens, February 25, 2010 @ 11:38 am

Yes, I would have voted for you in the “humor” category (and probably others), for sure. As it is, you don’t really deserve to win Most Controversial, not with I Will Teach You to Be Rich and Brazen Careerist among the nominees. This isn’t to say I don’t support you because you do a better blog than 95-100% of all the blogs mentioned on that page. But you’re not really the most controversial.
By Chuck, February 25, 2010 @ 11:43 am

Controversial?? Say what? Your blog and “The Finance Buff” are the only ones who debunk the crap coming from other media. That counts as controversy nowadays?
By Investor Junkie, February 25, 2010 @ 1:09 pm

I would say more in the humor category myself.
By jim, February 25, 2010 @ 2:11 pm

This blog is full of controversy. Even being nominated for the most controversial blog is a controversy. I also think you should have been in most humorous.

The huge list of different categories (all sponsored by someone) is ridiculous, and gets into the “everyone wins no matter where they finished” type of “competition” best left for preschoolers.
I’d propose the unofficial BMA awards:
“Steering You Away from Stupid PF Decisions with Actual Information” I nominate BMA here
“A PF Blog that is Nothing More than a Front for Promoting the Blogger’s Book/Paid Service/Business”: Too many nominees to list in this small space.
“If you follow these simple steps, you too can be poorer for your efforts (and if you are, please buy my next book)”:

I voted for you simply because this was the only category you were nominated in. I don’t find anything controversial here, in fact it’s the most common sense blog around. Most humorous would be much better.
By Nick, February 26, 2010 @ 10:25 am

You definitely deserve to be in the Most Well Written category. Few blogs (or traditional media) can match your clarity, directness, and thorough research.
By Rob Bennett, February 26, 2010 @ 11:47 am

I think my blog is the Most Controversial and I have the scars to prove it.

Still, I think yours is pretty darn controversial and in an entirely good way. So I am pleased to see that you are getting recognition for this and wish you luck with it and continued success.

I tried to nominate you in the category of “Most Blogorific Blog”, with the category being sponsored by The Casual Observer.

But Plutus (or maybe Donald Duck) rejected the nomination.

I’m gone to say to my little brother, that he should also pay a visit this website on regular basis to get updated from latest information.

My programmer is trying to persuade me to move to .net from PHP. I have always disliked the idea because of the expenses. But he’s tryiong none the less. I’ve been using Movable-type on several websites for about a year and am nervous about switching to another platform. I have heard great things about blogengine.net. Is there a way I can transfer all my wordpress content into it? Any kind of help would be really appreciated!

When I originally commented I clicked the “Notify me when new comments are added” checkbox and now each time a comment is added I get three emails with the same comment. Is there any way you can remove me from that service? Appreciate it!

I have been surfing online more than 2 hours today, yet I never found any interesting article like yours. It’s pretty worth enough for me. Personally, if all site owners and bloggers made good content as you did, the net will be much more useful than ever before.

Hello there! Do you know if they make any plugins to protect against hackers? I’m kinda paranoid about losing everything I’ve worked hard on. Any suggestions?
By химчистка мягкой мебели в борисове, September 2, 2023 @ 11:31 am

Hey I know this is off topic but I was wondering if you knew of any widgets I could add to my blog that automatically tweet my newest twitter updates. I’ve been looking for a plug-in like this for quite some time and was hoping maybe you would have some experience with something like this. Please let me know if you run into anything. I truly enjoy reading your blog and I look forward to your new updates.

Unquestionably believe that which you stated. Your favorite justification appeared to be on the internet the simplest thing to be aware of. I say to you, I definitely get irked while people consider worries that they plainly do not know about. You managed to hit the nail upon the top as well as defined out the whole thing without having side effect , people can take a signal. Will likely be back to get more. Thanks

The other day, while I was at work, my sister stole my iPad and tested to see if it can survive a twenty five foot drop, just so she can be a youtube sensation. My iPad is now broken and she has 83 views. I know this is completely off topic but I had to share it with someone!
