I’ve added a few new blogs to my blogroll recently. Just to highlight them:

  • Frugal Pursuit has, I believe, been reading my blog for some time, but I recently spent some time discovering hers. I read with interest her post about the end of the no-furnace challenge, as my husband and I have a similar challenge. I was able to hold out until last night, when it was below freezing for the first time this season and the wind was cutting. I returned home from my class to see it was 53 degrees inside (my house holds heat well!), but I just couldn’t tolerate it - I turned the heat up to 60. Such decadence!
  • I finally discovered Ramit Sethi’s I Will Teach You to Be Rich. Lots of valuable stuff here from an avowed frugality hater :) I am loving his “Save $1,000 in 30 Days” challenge and am following along avidly. So far my favorite tip from the challenge has been Use Gas Prices to Become Your Own Hedge Fund. I calculated how much I had spent per week on gas while prices were high vs. after prices dropped, and using that, was able to put $20 extra per paycheck - $40 extra per month - into my emergency fund. This means that in total $95 per paycheck, or $190 per month, is going into the fund.

But really, I’m writing this post because I want to hear about you. Yes, you. You’re not one of my close friends who reads this blog just to humor me (hi Nat!). Maybe you don’t even have a blog of your own, and RSS confuses you. You don’t leave comments, ’cause what do you have to add, right?

It’s you I want to hear about.

  • I want to know who you are, where you live, what you do.
  • What originally led you to this blog?
  • Are you here for the frugality tips, the personal finance posts, the economics articles, or just my weak sense of humor?
  • What topics do you care about?
  • Are you struggling financially? Are you facing bankruptcy or foreclosure?

You matter, and I want to make you a FitF celebrity.
