Hello everyone!  So it’s been exactly one year since my first daily journal.  It’s actually just a couple of days past the site’s birthday.  I debated for awhile on whether or not I wanted to just let the site lie dormant or let the domain expire, but it actually brings in a small residual income that more than pays for itself a few times over even after six months of no activity.  So the way I figure it, is that it’s simply meant to be here for awhile and serve as my outlet for discussing personal finance with the world.

So happy birthday site!  I look forward to another year of occasional updates and more frequented postings. 

I plan on running a series of "catching up with the world" posts this next week to kick things off into a routine again.  I’ll be describing what I’ve been up to in a nutshell while doing updates to things like the budget and progress bars.  Financial issues aside, I must admit it’s been one of the most tolling, difficult years in a long while…but we’re still here!

Tonight I’ve been going through my spreadsheets and cleaning up my desk.  I should have some good-news/bad-news information for next week after going through all this mess.

Until then!
