Which Magazine is better?

[poundwise]

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.

Good points. I buy one of the various mags from time to time, especially when traveling, and I usually enjoy the read.

I formerly have subscribed, at different times, to Money and SmartMoney. I just personally think that a subscription gets old quickly because of the repetitiveness and the lack of timely, substantive information; both being limitations of the media and the nature of the business itself.

I prefer to read smart money, but if we go through websites we get more informations.

Incidentally, how much do you all pay for your Money subscription?

I used to get Money but found it to be almost entirely fluff. After 6 months it was straight to the recycle bin... I find that Inc or Fast Company, even though they are business, not personal finance oriented, are still more relevant.

I think I'll make a habit of going down to the library to get caught up on some of these magazines.
