February was a great month for my personal and professional development. After the lows of January, it was great to have a month where I felt like I was stretching-and-growing instead of crashing-and-burning.
All of this growth took time away from the blog, though. I didn’t get as much written as I’d hoped. Still, I think there were some great discussions, which I’ve shared below. And I have a ton of excellent ideas for March. It’s my goal to get to a million visits next month! (GRS missed that target in January by 27,000.)
Here’s the best of February:
- February 2nd Playing with numbers: Using spreadsheets to learn about money
- February 4th: Save on cell phones with employee and student discounts
- February 6th: “What next?” The third stage of personal finance — this post introduced a new theme to the site
- February 11th: Investing 101: Average is not normal (a guest post from Carl Richards)
- February 12th: The national economy versus your personal economy
- February 17th: How to build confidence and destroy fear — an article that took me 18 months to write (no joke!)
- February 19th: How I cut my television bill in half
- February 23rd: Outside looking in: How others view our spending
- February 26th: Magazines (and websites) about homesteading and self-sufficiency

Hi J.D.,
I noticed on the list a post that I apparently hadn’t read, “Tightening Your Belt During Tough Times,” but the link displays a 404.
Thought You might like to know about it and hopefully you can correct the link.

Ha! Thanks, James. I knew there was a link I needed to fix, but couldn’t remember what it was.

I have to agree with you about your “How to Build Confidence & Destroy Fear” article being one of your best. I only wish I had written it. Since you did such a great job saying what I wanted I decided to post a link on my site. Great job!!!

My favorite of these was the one about overcoming fear. I had missed the spreadsheet article. What a relief to know that others actaully love Excel spreadsheets!
