I was so (happily) surprised this morning to see that Business Week had mentioned Free Money Finance as one of ten financial blogs worth visiting. What an honor. Thanks goes out to my regular readers for their support. I love writing for you and looking for ways to help increase your net worth.
For those of you who are new, here's a quick guide of posts that will give you a flavor of what's happening here at Free Money Finance:
- An overview of what the site is about can be found on the top left portion of every page and is labeled as "About FMF". Of particular note, check out What This Site is About, Why Listen to Me, and Why This Site Exists.
- My general philosophy is summarized by five principles of handling money. Some examples of these in practical application are Get Rich Slowly, You Can Save a Bundle without Having a Large Income, Yes, You Can Lose 15 Years of Debt in 14 Months, and It's Not What You Make, It's What You Spend.
- People love to save money, so very frequently I like to post what I call "Money Saving Tips". These are quick and easy suggestions designed to save you money. Check out Get the Right Air Conditioner and Save Money with Energy Star as two recent examples.
- I'm a real person, so I write about what happens to me financially. Check out I Get Sooo Many Credit Card Solicitations, Bank Marketing Gone Bad, and Great Buy at Costco.
- Every once in awhile I get on my financial soapbox. See I'm Miffed at GM and Cost of a Pet is $48,000 as examples.
- I love to write on-going series and have so far written on The Best Advice I Can Give, The Best Deal I Ever Got, and The Best Advice I Can Give, Blogger Edition.
- I cover financial news and try to list stories I think my readers will enjoy. See Millions Impacted by Personal Data Loss and Money News.
- I track the net worths of financial bloggers as a hobby.
- Best of all, my site is sponsored by Moose Tracks ice cream. Hard to beat that, huh? :-) It's a great product, plus they give me great things to give away. We're giving away t-shirts now, so check out this post for a chance to win.
Please look around and leaves comments or send me an email if you have a thought or suggestion. Thanks for visiting.
Congratulations! I hope you got a ton of new readers from the article.

Congratulations! I found your site while reading the current edition of Business Week! I am a little over a month into building my own blog and will visit your site often. I can see that you are farther down the path then me.

I am a retired computer programmer, and I am proposing an automated system that would require minimum effort on our parts.
This is a business proposal to extend the 'Costco' concept to blogging members.
The idea is to purchase items in bulk from around the world and resale at discount to fellow bloggers at discount prices.
If you have any interest in this concept, please email me at the above address.
