Every other Tuesday we're reviewing another name in the Twittersphere. We'll tell you a little bit about them, what kind of money advice you can expect to receive via Twitter and why you should (or shouldn't) follow them. This week we're taking a look at @OutofYourRut. Here are the stats for @OutofYourRut:

According to the About Us page at OutofYourRut.com, the man behind the Twitter and blog posts is KevinMercadante and when he's not blogging and tweeting about personal finances he's completing contract assignments in finance and accounting. He says he's not an expert, but you will find lots of great information on his site and in his tweets. His focus is on looking for jobs and business opportunities in places you may not have thought of, finding ways to reduce expenses, explaining ways to save more and improve your networking opportunities.
Most of @OutofYourRut's tweets are wise (The “wall” we construct at age 65 is a fiction-We should be out happily accomplishing until we draw our last breath!) and practical (Resistance weakens in groups, so leave the kids, spouse or significant other at home when you go shopping) and will almost always give you ways to get out of your financial rut. He's definitely open to back-and-forth communication which is always nice when using Twitter. Nobody likes a one-sided conversation. So if you're looking for a practical, solid voice to appear in your Twitterverse, try following @OutofYourRut.
