You guys have been awesome, sending all sorts of story suggestions and questions about personal finance. Unfortunately, I cannot possibly reply to every e-mail I receive. Get Rich Slowly is a one-man show, and I’m swamped. I hope to get some sort of autoresponder set up for common questions, but until then, please be assured that I read your e-mail, even if I don’t reply.
If you have a question that must have an answer, I highly recommend posting in the Get Rich Slowly discussion forum.
Here’s a brief overview of some of this month’s top stories at Get Rich Slowly:
- May 1st: Life after school: Advice for new graduates
- May 12th: Use a freedom account to prepare for the unexpected
- May 13th: A real millionaire next door
- May 14th: Finding affordable health insurance when you’re on your own (a guest post from Jason Gingerich)

Best of the Forums
The Get Rich Slowly discussion forums were active again this month, spawning a number of great threads:
- Frugal weddings and resources for planning
- Building a DVD library (which eventually becomes a train wreck)
- Calculating the size of an emergency fund
- People who earn over the Roth IRA limit can still contribute
- Index funds vs. managed funds
The forums are a great place to chat with your fellow readers. Have questions about emergency funds? Ask! Want to chat about cheap vacations? This is the place to do it. (Since opening a year ago, the forums have 1650 registered users and over 20,000 posts.)
