She describes the Editor’s Picks here:

Lenny from Best Money Saving Blog tells us we shouldn’t always listen to conventional wisdom and follow our own paths. Like those people raises hand who retire very, very early Nicholas describes on Personal Finance Digest, who know where they are going but sometimes overdo the extreme frugality. While we should focus on our financial future, DPF from Digital Personal Finance reminds us we should also live in the present and not be slaves to money.

Peter from Bible Money Matters teaches us how we can reach our goals and improve our financial future by using visualization.  Like PK explains on Don’t Quit Your Day Job, you have to take your future into your own hands and stop making excuses, they will only lead you to failure.
