The blagonet can be a dizzying jungle of information – how are you ever to find your way to great blogs about money written by college students and twenty-somethings?

Have no fear! Now the College Money Network is here! This mighty band of heroes is made up of the following debt-fighters and wealth builders:

And, well, me too, of course. Together, we… well, we write about money and college! What did you except? Saving the city from supervillains like Dr. Horrible? Please, we leave that to the professionals.

But you can expect some group writing projects, maybe some giveaways, and most importantly, some sweet money talk from all the participants. Links to the other blogs in the network are now in the sidebar, so check them out from time to time!

(Why yes, I do have Dr. Horrible on the brain today – you know how much I love free internet television and Joss Whedon! Plus, this world is a mess and I just… need to rule it.)
