Podcast Interview with Barbara Bryn Klare - Part 1
Monty Loree: Hey folks, this is Monty Loree here from Canadian Money Advisor and I've got an unusual person today. Barbara Bryn Klare is an award winning finance writer based in San Francisco and is the author of The Daily Cash Machine. She writes the personal finance column for the examiner.com based in San Francisco and is an expert in credit, debt saving and investing. Barbara Bryn is an accredited credit counselor with graduate work in finance and technical analysis. Hey Barabara, thanks for joining me in this podcast.
Barbara Klare: Thank you.
Monty Loree: So you said you've been interested in personal finance, in saving, investing, and credit and so on for quite a few years. What encouraged you to start The Upside of Money?
Barbara Klare: Well, I started Upside of Money around the same time as I was writing an ebook on saving every day. That was the summer of '06. My blog is actually still pretty primitive. I'm kind of hoping this year I'll bring it into a full-fledged site. But I started really blogging in earnest when I started my column last year for the examiner.com San Francisco and they work in tandem right now. So that's what I've been doing.
Monty Loree: So the url of your blog is UpsideOfMoney.com?
Barbara Klare: That's right.
Monty Loree: Oh good. And as well, you said you also do some writing at theexaminer.com in San Francisco there. Your book, which I was interested to read about, was The Daily Cash Machine. So you said that you've been online blogging for about three years now?
Barbara Klare: Yes, about three years.
Monty Loree: What subjects do you like to blog about the most?
Barbara Klare: My absolute top two favorites are saving money and investing money - kind of two sides of the same coin. I'm also going to start writing a book about retirement and catching up late, which is sort of my new obsession.
Monty Loree: I'm sure that's pretty relevant in today's economy.
Barbara Klare: I think it's relevant for a lot of people who've been caught by the economy or who haven't had traditional retirement options to them, since a lot of those avenues have been closed lately. I'm talking about pensions and that kind of thing.
Monty Loree: So you're talking about tensions or pensions?
Barbara Klare: In my book, I'm actually going to talk about how to catch up carefully and wisely but somewhat aggressively.
