Bank On Yourself Blog Named Top 100 in Personal Finance

    SANTA FE, NM, October 11, 2016 /24-7PressRelease/ -- Bank On Yourself by Pamela Yellen has been named one of the Top 100 Personal Finance Blogs on the web by Feedspot.

Bank On Yourself blog (http://www.bankonyourself.com/blog) is written by financial investigator Pamela Yellen. Yellen is founder and president of BankOnYourself.com and author of two New York Times Bestsellers, including her latest, THE BANK ON YOURSELF REVOLUTION: Fire Your Banker, Bypass Wall Street, and Take Control of Your Own Financial Future.

Feedspot describes Bank On Yourself blog as "a personal finance blog for retirement and investment advice. It helps individuals take control, grow and protect their finances." A key part of that mission is educating Americans on the difference between saving and investing, Yellen says.

"To save means to place money you can't afford to lose in a vehicle that is safe and has guaranteed growth. You are certain your money will be there when you need it," she says. "In contrast, to invest means to place money in a financial vehicle or an asset that has a certain amount of risk. You hope to make a gain, but it's not guaranteed. In fact, you might even lose your original investment money."

"The only money you should invest is money you can afford to lose," Yellen advises. "Unfortunately, over the past 30 years or so, we've been seduced by Wall Street into believing we must risk our money in order to achieve growth of any significance. We take risks with our emergency fund, our children's college fund, our retirement nest egg - the very money we absolutely cannot afford to lose. And we do this because we've been led to believe there are no better alternatives."

Bank On Yourself blog educates Americans about safe and secure ways to save and grow wealth. Pamela investigated more than 450 financial strategies seeking an alternative to the risk and volatility of stocks and other investments, which led her to a time-tested, predictable method of growing wealth now used by more than 500,000 Americans.

Feedspot selected Bank On Yourself blog as part of what its founder Anuj Agarwa calls "the most comprehensive list of best personal finance blogs on the Internet." Feedspot's editorial team ranked blogs based on their Google reputation and search ranking; influence and popularity on Facebook, Twitter and other social media; and quality and consistency of posts.
