Congrats, J.D.!! I actually got around to reading my Money this afternoon while watching the kids play in the backyard and exclaimed out loud, “Hey, I know him!!” LOL! Thought the little write up was great!

Its only natural that a guy whose last name is Roth have a good PF blog. Kudos for getting the site mentioned in a paper medium.

Trent’s gas mileage post was really fun. I’m always playing with gas mileage figures and keep a spreadsheet on Google Docs for it.

Tracking your mileage will give you a mental game to try and best your own average.

That is great that you were included as the most inspiring! I totally agree. And thanks for the links to the other financial blogs … I think I may need to add them to my Google Reader (which is how I get to GRS every day).

You’ve inspired me! I almost never post because I read your entries via Google Reader but I want to congratulate you on your second anniversary and now the accolade from Money magazine.

“I do my best.” Yes, and it shows.

I thought about sending you flowers as a congrats and then I thought “WWJDD?” (What would JD do?). I felt a better gift was to show that I’m learning from what you teach and I transfered that money into my ING account instead.

Patrick at Cash Money Life mentioned the article a couple of days ago and he and I lamented that it seemed like to be a successful money blogger, your name had to begin with a “J.” We decided the list should be expanded to include “P” and an “S”

Congratulations JD, it must be very satisfying to see your efforts acknowledged (and rightly so) by the ‘mainstream’ press. Here’s hoping it generates a far wider audience for you ongoing too!

Well deserved accolades for GRS! Congratulations again on the anniversary, and now the mention from CNN/Money. You have to be feeling pretty good about the state of GRS. If not, you should be!
