Hello to All! | Bloggers Lair | Yakezie Forums

Just wanted to introduce myself. I am 21 years old, I live in Canada and have been interested in finances ever since I got my first job. Although most of the money I ended up investing I lost due to inexperience. Hopefully now I will be able to set up some good long term investments that will provide some steady returns for the next 40 years.

I have recently wanted a way to track my financial decisions. I have been quite bad with my finances the last 2 and a half years and want to turn it all around. Hopefully 2012 will be the year I will be able to change everything around.

I have been reading many of your blogs for the past few months and love how organized the blogs seem to be.

So after much deliberation I took the plunge and set up hosting and wordpress, wrote my first post and will write a new post every 2 days. I feel as though that seems fair enough.

Any suggestions from the community would be great appreciated. I imagine I will be using the search function quite a bit. I can tell by how many posts there are that any question I have has probably already been answered.

Thanks!

Welcome! I'm Canadian too :) It's fun to see so many Canadians join!

Welcome to Yakezie, awesome to see more Canadian bloggers popping up!

Ah, a fellow under-25 Canuck.  Nice to have you eh!  Good luck with everything, let us know if you have questions.

Thanks everyone,

I have already recieved a ton of help on this site. Once I create a little more content and get everything spic & span I will definitely be entering the challange.

Another quick question, what are people`s thoughts on backlinking without consent. Because I have already linked to a few of the blogs that I predominantly read in my sidebar. Is this a no-no, should I ask for permission, or is it generally OK to do this?

Also I was thinking that after I have blogged more and created a little more content. Explaining my backstory and such. Would it be ok to start reviewing articles that I found interesting on my blog? I have stated that I will not be giving any financial advice on my site because I am no expert, unlike many of you who have financial degrees or have been doing it for years (Not an old joke). Nonetheless I do have my opinions and I would love to share what I think about some posts. I will definitely be asking the respective blog owners about this one. I feel this would help my readers understand how I think better.

Since I am not the best explainer in the world this would allow them to truly understand what I am talking about because someone else has always written it better.

Have a great monday!

Congrats on joining. I love Canada so much I used to date someone there but please don't tell anyone because I like to keep my life a secret.
