This is the tenth KC Awards weekly recognition of personal finance bloggers. You may be curious about the recognition! Each week, the Academy of Frugal Journalistic Writers will recognize some bloggers with the KC (pronounced casey) award. What is the KC award? First it is more symbolic than anything else. What is the origin?
Nearly five hundred (500) years ago in The Netherlands (Holland), the word krant (Dutch) meant newspaper, journal, magazine, gazette, or periodical. Interestingly, it still does! In French, krant is courant which means informed on current affairs, up to date and knowledgeable.
What are the Dutch known for? Holland is the land of explorers, windmills, wooden shoes, pancakes, canals, dikes, levees, flowers (tulips), cheese, and great artists (Dutch Masters). They are also known for their frugality! The blog krantcents is a combination of a knowledgeable, current, newspaper, focusing on frugality. Krantcents established the KC awards to recognize the best articles each week.
Rules: The selection of blogs is up to the committee of one established by krantcents as a representative of the Academy of Frugal Journalistic Writers. That committee can be influenced by meaningful comments, signing up for my RSS feeds, backlinks, links, trackbacks, Facebook Likes, Twitter, Retweets, Digg, StumbleUpon, delicio, Yahoo Buzz, Google Bookmarks and other social media. If you plan on creating a single purpose political action committee (PAC) to buy advertising on my blog to solely influence the committee, please go ahead! Please understand it will not influence the results.
This week the following personal financial blogs are recognized with a KC (pronounced casey) award:
Narrow Bridge Finance – “Building Home Equity: Ways to Build Wealth”
Not Made of Money – “Reasons To Move: Considering More Than Your Rent or Mortgage”
One Money Design – “How Long Should You Invest In The Stock market”
Personal Finance By The Book – “Retirement Redefined: 5 Simple Tips You Hadn’t Considered”

Thanks so much for this wonderful list. I’m familiar with a couple of these blogs, but the others are new to me, and I love them! I work for Mango Money’s blog, so I am always looking for new sources of inspiration and information. I came across your blog by looking around at posts on other sites, and I have to say, I’m loving it so far. So thank you for all of the good info!
