I stumbled across an interesting website the other day that I thought I would make you aware of. Apparently the government cares about our personal finances at least at some level. I know it’s hard to believe, but they’ve at least put up a website.

At USA.gov they’ve got a section about Money and Taxes. It covers a variety of topics including:

• Currency and the Economy
• Federal and State Financial Agencies
• Financial Crimes and Scams
• Investing
• Personal Finance
• Sales and Auctions, and
• Taxes - Federal and State

The information in these different topics is pretty ordinary. There isn’t anything earth shattering or revelatory, but it’s an interesting resource to check out. It does however, provide reliable information on some of the most common personal finance topics. Where else would you get better information about government sponsored retirement plans than from the government themselves.

Overall I think the site is worth checking out. You may find a topic that you want to learn more about, and you wouldn’t have otherwise thought of it. How else would you learn about the Check 21 Law (I will be very surprised if you know what this is). You can also order a free CD-rom called the Individual Retirement Arrangement (IRA) Resource Guide for Small Business Owners and Individuals (I’ll let you try and find this for yourself). Who would have thought? So poke around the site and see what you think.
