I'm joining the challenge today, with an Alexa of 999K. I blog about beauty, fitness and food on a budget. I'm looking forward to reading the other challengers.

Hey Kennedi!  Welcome to the big Yakezie family!  Glad to have you!

So 3 months ago, I joined the challenge as Baking the Budget. Now, with an Alexa rating of under 240k, I'm switching everything up. I've moved my blog from blogger to my own domain and changed the name of my blog to The Dog Ate My Wallet – Personal Finance in a World Full of Excuses.

I always felt that with the title Baking the Budget, I should post more about baking, or cooking, or at least food, and I didn't nor was I going to start. 

My blog is going to remain general personal finance, but I'm going to talk more about the excuses we make to ourselves about not doing what we know we should. There will also be a bit more focus on the finances surrounding pet ownership.

Anyway, just thought I'd reintroduce myself with the new blog.

As a note, the look of the blog will be changing a bit over the next few days, but I'm excited to have it up and running

All new challengers welcome! I am on my second week and already below 800K! It is a great place to be. I always knew it.

Good evening, peeps. I have just joined the Challenge – after agonising over the decision for some time now I have decided that it is time.

Probably need to brush up on my technical skills first – didn't manage to figure out how to set up my signiture. May be a blessing in disguise, though.

 

I am Maria and the problem with 'Maria's is that we can never be 'the Maria'; so I would like to be known as maria@moneyprinciple. My blog – The Money Principle – needs some attention although today I had a rather interesting surprise. It was ranked higher (much higher) than I expected – it is ranked 704,321 globally. I want to get in below 200,000 within six months.

Nice to meet you and take care.

Your post made me smile. You still might make it to be The Maria. lol Welcome to the challenge!

Well, Maria is just another way to say 'Mary', 'Miriam' etc. and usually she is Mary Josef mother of Jesus. Don't stand a chance! Even if this argument doesn't wash off there are so many Marias that beiong known only by your first name (like Madona etc.) is not on.

Welcome Maria! You'll love it here.

Thanks for the welcome. My feeling is I will – nice people, great network, good conversation and good work and openness.

welcome maria. you'll get to 200k from 700k in no time. definitely much earlier than 6 months as long as you keep at it every day.

Thanks! Strangely enough I have gone further back globally today but imporved in GB. Go figure!
