20s Finances

It is with deep gratitude that I announce that 20’s Finances is now under 200k! I cannot believe it has come so fast. It was accomplished in 1 month. On August 27, I joined the challenge. I got my first alexa ranking of 4.3 million on 8/31 and tonight, I see that it has updated to just under 200k. My toolbar hasn't updated (it should in the morning), but I see it on alexa.com. :)
The best part about it is that it is all because of Yakezie. Thanks to all of you, but a special thanks to those of you who have literally gone out of your way to help me out. It has been such a great experience to be a part of the Yakezie community, even as a challenger.
To name just a few, thanks to Suba at Wealth Informatics/Broke Professionals for her constant advice – and always being there. Derek at Lifeandmyfinances, for inspiring me to start blogging and hiring me as a staff writer.
To Joe at Retireby40, Glen at Free From Broke, Crystal at BudgetingintheFunStuff, LittleHouseintheValley, Smartfamilyfinance; thank you all for agreeing to host my guest posts. I can’t thank you enough.
To Group 1, thank you for helping make this possible. I owe you so much. I will continue to do everything possible to help you reach your goals!
Finally, thank you to the many co-challengers who have always provided support and encouragement. Specifically, Aaron at aaronhung, Paul at the frugaltoad, Jen at mastertheartofsaving, and Shaun at Smartfamilyfinance. These are just a few that I can think of in this joyous moment! Thank you ALL! I see this as a celebration for Yakezie more than just 20’s Finances.

Thanks everyone! Yeah, I am super excited. I am hoping to break 100K this next month! I am not sure it will be as easy, but everyone needs goals. :)
@Jacob, Thanks. I figured someone would realize that I am commenting a lot. :) I am considering marketing myself as a commentor for other blogs, but not sure about this yet. Not sure if other blogs are that interested in hiring someone to comment.
@Miss T, thanks for putting your dancing shoes on. I was literally jumping around last night. My wife thought I was silly.

Some are for certain.
