It’s Worth a Visit to Moneyville

November 15, 2010 | Margaret W. | Comments (2)

If you are looking for an easy-to-read, user friendly financial website, Moneyville is for you. A colleague recently introduced me to the website and I am hooked.

Moneyville was launched in September 2010 by Torstar Corp. It includes easy access to a variety of personal finance topics.

The site does not overwhelm with financial jargon, statistics, and intense financial analysis. Instead, it addresses the everyday personal financial issues that face us all.

There are dedicated sections for money in a relationship, beating fees, personal taxation, borrowing, retirement, saving, budgeting and real estate. 

The site also includes blogs by well-known experts such as Allison Griffiths, Ellen Roseman, Bryan Borzykowski, and others. (These links are to their personal websites so you can learn more about them.  For their blogs on Moneyville.ca, as well as all the other blogs on the site, click here.)

As a financial calculator junkie, I was delighted to discover that there are no less than eight categories of personal financial calculators on Moneyville (many categories include more than one calculator). For example, in the Borrowing category, calculators include:

  • How Much Car Can I Afford?
  • What Is My Outstanding Loan Balance?
  • Buy vs. Lease A Car
  • There are many more.

    Another great feature is the weekly interview.  Every week, the editors present an expert on a pre-chosen topic who answers questions that you submit. At the time of my writing this, the topic was the rising price of car insurance.

    Have a look. By my calculations, you will find this site very useful.
