New Web Site, ThinkingAboutMoney.com, Offers Financial Education with a Twist

Dan Appleman, best selling author and entrepreneur, launches a new financial web site and blog for those who aren't afraid to think.

San Jose, CA (PRWEB) June 8, 2006 - Dan Appleman’s new financial web site, ThinkingAboutMoney.com, is distinguished not so much by what it is, but by what it is not.

- It does not promise "get rich quick" schemes or secrets
- It does not offer investment advice.
- It does not repeat fundamental information that most beginners know and that can be found everywhere on the web.

ThinkingAboutMoney.com is about learning to think effectively about money and finance. It’s about looking behind the scenes to understand why things happen the way they do. It’s about challenging common knowledge and advice.

Written by an author who had founded and managed companies, invested in real-estate and the stock market, been self-employed, and served time in cubicles as a wage-slave, Appleman is not the prototypical financial advisor. In fact, he is not a financial "advisor" at all, preferring instead to bring readers along on an educational journey rather than lecturing from up high.

In addition to blog entries (most of which are considerably longer than a typical blog), the site contains extended articles or e-books including "Thinking About ‘Rich Dad, Poor Dad’ - A Commentary and Analysis" that examines the works of Robert Kiyosaki, and "Thinking About ‘Why Smart People Make Big Money Mistakes and How to Correct Them’ - A commentary and Analysis" that reviews a fascinating book about the science of behavioral economics (or, why we’re all doomed to fail as investors).

With a scope that will grow to cover all aspects of the financial world, from investing, to credit management, to entrepreneurship, ThinkingAboutMoney.com stands out from the crowd of personal finance and investing sites to provide a different kind of financial education - one that aims for real understanding.
