And Forget About The Little Stuff

In The Beginning…

I’ve always liked having money. I’ve always enjoyed spending it, too. But what I really like about personal finance is finding that perfect balance. I like to treat myself well without breaking the bank.

They don’t teach much personal finance in high school or college, so it wasn’t until late in college that I found out it was something people talked about. I started reading everything I could get my hands on. I didn’t have any money and I was eating pasta 5 times a week, but I enjoyed the topic and loved the knowledge. Read More

Yakezie Member Post – Out of Debt Again

Get Out Of Debt And Stay Out Of Debt

Hello, my name is Mrs. Accountability.  I first learned of the Yakezie Alexa Challenge when Nicole from Rainy Day Saver talked about the group on her blog.  I knew about “Alexa” and had been tracking my rank but I wasn’t exactly sure what it meant. Even so, I decided to join that day with an Alexa ranking of 511,855.  One of the primary goals of the group was to promote one another selflessly, and I’d been trying to do that on my own.

What is Up Yakezites! I have commented on almost every single member’s blog at least once (but most likely way too many times), however if you don’t know me I’m Evan from My Journey to Millions.

A Little Bit About Evan

I am a happily married twenty eight year old on Long Island.  While I do use a good amount of gel, I don’t talk with that awful accent nor have I ever visited a tanning salon (and I never will). Read More

Don't you want to invest wisely?

To begin, here’s a little bit about me: I’m 27, I graduated from university two  years ago, I’ve been working as an R&D engineer ever since then, moved in with my girlfriend last year, and my blogging adventure started just a few months ago. I joined the Yakezie not long after that.

Hearing all of these thank yous must get tiresome after a while, Sam, but I need to say it: Thanks for starting such a cool community, and thanks, everyone, for making the Yakezie great!

Yakezie Member Post – Free From Broke

The Story Behind Personal Fiannce Blog Free From Broke.

Hi.  I’m Craig and I’m a husband, father, and the publisher of Free From Broke. Let me tell you a bit about myself and my personal finance blog…

Some years ago I realized that my finances were not anywhere that they needed to be. I was in credit card debt and renting a tiny apartment.  At the time I had very little in savings and basically nothing set aside for retirement.  I needed to change.  I started doing research online.  One of the first sites I found was the Motley Fool.  At the time they were full of so many great articles that I’d sit there reading one after the other.  I was starting to see that I could take control of my finances and slowly I was learning how to do it.

What do you get when you mix personal finance with blogging and community? In the last year of blogging, I’ve come to learn finance blogs are an excellent way to help people grow on their respective financial journeys. Whether it’s learning about the importance of contributing to your 401(k), finding the best deal, or learning how to create a budget; personal finance bloggers help promote the importance of good financial management.

Yakezie Member Post – Consumerism Commentary

Arigato gozaimasu to Financial Samurai for his hard work organizing Yakezie and creating a strong, positive force in the blogging community. I’m honored to be involved in any way I can. My first encounter with Sam was during a time I was looking for a staff writer for Consumerism Commentary. In organizing all the responses, I regrettably didn’t respond to Sam’s email, and he rightfully called me out for my negligence. I’ve been working at improving my communication habits, but I know I have a long way to go.

That was my primary reason for joining the Yakezie. Although the goal of this network is focused on Alexa ranking, my motivation for including Consumerism Commentary within the network is to work more closely with a group of financial bloggers. Here’s a little of my history.

First, I really want to express my appreciation to this amazing group, and the guy who started it all, Sam. This group has been an amazing motivator for me to improve my writing and press towards the goals I originally set when I started blogging. I couldn’t have asked for a more supportive group and am just happy to be a part of it.

Now to the task at hand, defining who I am and what I am about…

The Millionaire Nurse Blog: AKA Dr Dean’s Baby!

The Birth of The Millionaire Nurse

The Spark in his eye:

I have always been interested in business. It fascinates me how men and women, from a germ of an idea, or wish, or hope, grow that idea into an organization that produces an outcome, a product or a service. Hopefully, if the stars are aligned, at a profit.

So how does someone interested in business, become a Doc, and how does a Doc, then become a writer/blogger/speaker about personal finance?

Maybe Sigmund Freud has that answer, I certainly do not. Read More
