Here we go!

My name is Ben Hubbard, and I recently returned from the Middle East after spending more than 5 years as an expat Engineer in the remote deserts of Saudi Arabia and Mongolia. I started Misfit Money with a close friend and am excited to join the Yakezie Challenge. We offer a unique perspective on working overseas to get ahead financially and what it can do for you.

I hope you enjoy the site, and any feedback is welcomed!

Sad to say I don't even have a Alex Ranking, but I will be sure to post it once we do (confirming).

Welcome to the challenge Ben! The challenge is definitely worth it. Feel free to ask any questions along the way. Where can we connect with you on social media?

Thanks! I just updated my signature to include the social media pages. I attempted to load a profile image, but it appears there is an issue with doing so at this point. I will let Sam know. Look forward to the journey!

I somehow managed to miss this thread when I wondered if the Challenge was still active.

I'm Marie. We're off-grid homesteaders, blogging about preparedness and sometimes very hard-core frugality. I've been working at figuring out what exactly I offer my readers. I finally figured it out while talking to someone today. I help my readers learn how to be rich, no matter what their income is, through good money management, frugality, increasing skills, etc.

At the moment, my global Alexa is 629,988. I will soon be adding the Alexa button to my site. I recall years ago (this is my second attempt!) that there was a list of things that we should be doing. Is that still around?

Almost two years blogging, time for Yakezie in my life.

I'm Chad, I'm one of the Wallet Engineers. We used to be two, but Wallet Engineer #2 had a kid and got a rental property so he is busy.

 

I write about stocks, budgets, personal finances, taxes, frugality, and best of all early retirement.

 

Thanks,

Welcome aboard

Glad to have you on board…I'll be sure to check out your site and connect with you socially.

Hey all,

I'm Gary Weiner and I've been blogging at Super Saving Tips for a year now. What started out as a place to share my money saving tips and ideas has expanded into a broader personal finance blog where I can share the things I've learned in my life. My Alexa rank has bounced around from 2.5 million to over 10 million and now has settled in at 3,274,258 today. I have a ways to go to get under 200k, but I'm looking forward to the challenge!

A bit about me…I spent my working years in retail (department stores and supermarkets) and banking with a bit of financial planning. I am "retired" now and live in NJ with my wife. While I never had a mountain of debt, both my wife and I have health issues that both limit our income and increase our expenses. In a situation where many would be on the verge of bankruptcy, I'm proud to say we've managed to make our finances work.

I've enjoyed many of your blogs and I'm really looking forward to connecting with you all.

Regards,
Gary

Hi everyone!

My name is Jeff Hunter and I run a blog called Simple. Thrifty. Living. (simplethriftyliving.com). We are excited to join the Challenge! Our current Alexa ranking is 206,915, but we're hoping to break 200,000 soon. We've seen many of your blogs in passing but are really excited to actually get the chance to work with all of you. Please let me know if there is anything we can do to help our fellow Challengers out and we will be happy to help!

Jeff

Thanks for the info, Dee! I wasn't completely sure how to get the signature set up. :)
