Hi,
I am a long time commenter, but just started blogging in mid July of 2010. Many of you know me as Sandy L and I'm over at Firstgenamerican.com.
I started first gen american as a homage to my immigrant upbringing. Much of my personal finance background can be traced back to my immigrant upbringing. My mother definitely falls into the "extremely frugal" camp. I write about what I have learned from her as well as my own professional life experiences. Some posts are funny, some are extemely personal and heavy..but all have a happy ending and a lesson in the end.
My initial Alexa rank was 6MM, but now is around 207,000. I actually have a guest post written up for Yakezie.com, so I'd like to submit that as a next step so people can learn a little more about my background.
I love the Yakezie community. Many of the bloggers in this network have been very supportive and welcoming and I wanted to thank you all for the encouragement, support, and blog 101 mentoring. I look forward to meeting the rest of the community.
