The past week or so has been an eventful one. We had the stimulus packages being discussed in Congress (let’s hope it doesn’t pass) and I was featured in my first matchup in March Madness over at FreeMoneyFinance.com. Thanks to everyone who voted for me, and helped me to move on to the second round!
This website reached a milestone today. Today we logged our first half a million page views for this site! That’s right, around 12:30pm today we reached 500,000 page views! Not too shabby for a site that is just over 1 year old, right? Thanks to all of you for coming to the site, and for continuing to visit! i couldn’t have done it without all of your help! Today we start our journey towards 1 million!
Another milestone already reached today was that we passed 350,000 visitors! Once again, thank you everyone!
The coming week promises to be an eventful one as well, stay tuned for details about a series of posts we’ll be doing this week!
Featured Carnivals
To get the week started right, I thought I would mention a couple of carnivals that I’ll be featured in this week. It was a good week where I was chosen as an editor’s pick several times!:
- I was featured in the Carnival of Personal Finance this week for my article about why the best decisions don’t always make the most financial sense. This week’s theme is the Wizard of Oz!
- I was chosen as an Editor’s pick in the Carnival of Debt Reduction for my article about setting up your first budget. Check it out here.
- I was chosen as an Editor’s pick in the Festival of Frugality for my article A Commonly Believed Myth: The Little Guy Just Can’t Get Ahead.
Featured Free Download
Over the weekend Paul over at CrackerjackGreenback.com sent me an email announcing his brand new free e-book that he’s offering for download at his site. I downloaded and read it yesterday, and it really is a good read. It’s all about wealth and contentment, and how you can find contentment through faith. A must read, and it’s free… for now. Download it for free while you can!
