I disagree with the "one month" point, but I would agree that one year is plenty because they repeat the same stuff year after year: annual mutual fund issue, annual college rankings, annual tax-planning guide, annual new car buyers' guide, etc. Obviously, the details change from year to year but the basic substance and advice doesn't.

That said, I've gotten Money for many years. I enjoy reading it, even if the advice is often repetitive. I suppose it is the same reason I hang out here. The same questions get asked over and over, and the answers are always the same, but I enjoy the process.
