The Best of Get Rich Slowly: October 2007 Print
Wednesday, 31st October 2007 (by J.D.)This article is about Administration
Trick or treat! Thanks, everyone, for a great October. As usual, there were some excellent discussions. I was also pleased to be able to give away over $600 in prizes to celebrate Get Rich Slowly’s 18-month anniversary. My Real Life took precedence this month, though I did my best to maintain quality around here. This was possible thanks in part to guest posts from readers like you. Here are some of the best GRS articles from the month of October:
- October 1st: Is a money merge account a good way to pay off your mortgage?
- October 9th: Who earns minimum wage? A statistical profile
- October 12th: How to eat at a swanky restaurant without blowing your monthly food budget
- October 17th: Recurring monthly costs: Which are worth it? Which are not?
- October 19th: Ask the readers: Best brick-and-mortar banks?
- October 24th: Understanding the seven habits of wealth (a guest post from Dough Roller)
- October 25th: Frugality is not a dirty word
- October 28th: Building wealth with a virtual employer (a guest post from James)

“My Real Life took precedence this month, though I did my best to maintain quality around here.”
Wow, I’m a long time reader and I was very impressed with the content this month. I thought the articles recently have been especially good and topical. I’m not sure if this is just the recency effect or if the site is getting better. I just thought it was funny that you are apologizing for the content this month. If this is what happens when you concentrate more on your life, maybe you should not be so concerned.

I just came across your site and I’m glad I did. I really like the title — it’s a passion of mine to help people understand how to build wealth slowly and over time.
I’m sure I’ll be quoting from your blog and I’ll link to you in the next day as well.

Great thread from the Forums on Kitchen Appliances. Can’t sing enough praise regarding a slow cooker. For example, yesterday was a crazy day where I literally bummed a ride home from one of my guests coming over to my house for dinner, that’s how busy it was. But before I had left 12 hours earlier, I had thrown onions, potatoes, carrots, bell peppers, garlic, pepper, a pork roast, and a can of chicken broth into the slow cooker. I can’t think of any easier way for those of us who work outside of the house to have healthy homecooked meals from scratch, but without the hassle.
