Another great week around the personal finance blogosphere. I am continually impressed with the quality of articles on other bloggers’ blogs. They make this look easy!

Here are my top picks for the week:

• The Digerati Life gives advice on determining whether to keep or sell stock options. Very important if a large portion of your compensation or bonus is in stock options.
• Get Rich Slowly discusses the tyranny of stuff. I completely identified with his thoughts on “stuff” once he realized he could live without them. I’ve told my wife that if I wasn’t married with children I could probably live like a monk. (well, I guess I would need a computer and internet access to blog)
• Blueprint for Financial Prosperity delves into the art of envelope budgeting. I had never heard of this method until I met my in-laws. It worked very well for them.
• Clever Dude answers my question about why he chose an interest-only mortgage over a fixed rate mortgage. In his case, I agree with him that the interest-only mortgage was a good decision. However, I also know he is very disciplined in making sure he manages the rest of his financial situation well.
• The Simple Dollar debates the age-old argument of whether to pay down debt or invest. Read the comments to this post as well to hear both sides of the argument.

My most popular post this week was 6 Ways to Increase Your Kids’ Financial Intelligence. If you haven’t read it yet, follow the link and leave a comment with your feedback.
