Review of Moolanomy at Chance Favors by Ciaran McKeever
By Pinyo • Nov 14th, 2007 • Category: Reviews and InterviewsI know this is going to be a good day when I woke up to see a glowing review of Moolanomy at Chance Favors by Ciaran McKeever; especially, when the other two blogs he previously reviewed were Get Rich Slowly and The Simple Dollar.
Ciaran McKeever is a CERTIFIED FINANCIAL PLANNER professional and President of McKeever Wealth Management. What does this means? This means he knows his money stuff a lot better than a typical personal finance blogger like me. Here is a quick blurb about his blog:
“Chance Favors hopes to educate, encourage and empower those in their 30’s and 40’s to achieve financial independence. There’s a heavy focus on all things Roth IRA, with special attention given to the upcoming 2010 Roth conversion event using ‘down home’ financial planning tools.”
Coincidentally, we both start to blog about the same time and live in the same region. Perhaps when I saved my first $1 million, I will give Ciaran a call for some wealth management advice.
If you are shooting over to his blog, I would like to recommend the following posts:
- My favorite mutual fund cost calculator - I mentioned before that expenses could really eat into your wealth building momentum. Here, Ciaran shares tool that gives you greater visibility into the hidden costs of mutual funds.
- Understanding the tax efficiency of ETF’s - I wrote about mutual fund double whammy and extolled the virtue of ETFs before. Here is another look at why ETFs are better for your wealth.
- Active Investing v Passive Investing? It’s a secondary decision in my book - Another good overview of the ever changing equity products, and why absolute performance is a foolish man’s game.
Lastly, I want to say thank you to Ciaran again for thinking Moolanomy is “best of the breed.”

Hey thanks Pinyo for the very nice post. After months of blogging and teaching myself how to become more tech savy, I’m finally coming out of my isolation bubble.
This is the first real mention of any kind I’ve received and I look forward to becoming a more active participant here, as well as, other blogs I’ve begun to follow.
I’ll use your blog as a model to try and make mine more of an interactive experience for my readers going forward.
thanks again
Very cool. Congrats on being his pick.
Congratulations Pinyo! It’s a great review.
Congrats on the good review! It is well deserved.
Congrats! Your blog has grown into a nice, clean informative blog very quickly.
I wanted to become a CFP, but that requires money. Maybe I can still become an Uncertified Financial Planner.
@CHM - You’re welcome. I have the advantage of writing web applications and blogging prior to starting this blog, so that helped a lot. Your blog is off to a great start — good design and great content. I am sure you will be successful with it.
@Mrs. Micah, Eric, Shadox, and SJean - thank you.
@Minimum Wage - I think you have a lot of experience under your belt and you would make a great blogger. Have you considered writing guest posts for some of the blogs? If you like it, you can start a blog, and it could eventually become your sideline job.
Happy 4 months…congrats
