January was a great month at Get Rich Slowly. We had great discussions on a variety of topics. February may be a little slow, however; I’m training my replacement at the box factory. To pick up the slack, I’m willing to consider a new round of guest submissions. If you have something to say about personal finance, drop me a line to share your idea.
Meanwhile, here are some of the best GRS articles from the month of January:
- January 4th: The ultimate cheapskate’s book contest
- January 7th: 8 ways to take control of your finances in 2008
- January 9th: Car trouble: A real-life lesson in the value of an emergency fund

The debt snow balls article was a good one.
Lots of small amounts sure do add up to large amounts.

ouch, that car repair bill was nasty. it’s great that you had the emergency fund for it but you got hit hard by that dealership.
given how most of us own cars, and many people do this (that is, spend waaaay too much on car repairs because they don’t know much about cars) maybe a discussion on this is warranted.
the service department is usually the biggest profit maker in a dealership.
