After a year of blogging, I’ve networked with many great people and now follow over 100 blogs. But before I started Canadian Finance Blog, there were only six blogs that I read every morning for almost a year. While they have all been included in my Friday Links many times, I wanted to do something special to highlight the sites that inspired me to start my own blog.
I asked the guys behind each site to let me know one of their favorite posts that they had wrote over the years. I also looked back to find one of my favorites from each blog as well.

Using equity in your home to make home repairs can be a great idea as long as you can afford the new payment. You should be able finish the entire upstairs for about $80 to $100 per square foot. The bathroom will be the most expensive room per square foot.
Adding space like that can make your home so much more enjoyable by having room to roam and spread out a little. Besides, it will also increase the value of your home so it would be a good investment as long as you don't go overboard on how you finish the home.
