		<description>How about having &quot;A year ago on Get Rich Slowly&quot; posts like Unclutterer has to bring up old blog posts in a more digestable way for new readers?</description>

		<description>Yes and I don&#039;t get why she&#039;s using a pen name, especially a pen name like Honey, unless its her &quot;Real&quot; name which it probably isn&#039;t. I hate it when people use monikers instead of their real names, after all they are writers aren&#039;t they? 

They should get used to using their real names and not hide behind a moniker. Yes I know that writers have used pen names for centuries, but I believe that writers should stand behind what they write and not hide.

I mean even the writer of 50 shades of grey isn&#039;t afraid of doing interviews with mainstream media and she&#039;s writing about a controversial topic</description>

		<description>I&#039;m extremely disappointed that you picked Honey Smith - I read this site to learn about personal finance, not to read about someone else&#039;s mistakes or read about how they are learning.  After just two posts and the fact that she stopped responding to comments, I can already tell she is a trainwreck who is going to be defensive about every little thing, and I plan to skip all posts from her now on.

That said, good luck with your endeavors.</description>

		<description>I have to admit that I don&#039;t come here that often anymore. I already know the basics, so I&#039;ve moved beyond that, but I still come here from time to time just to check up on things and see what&#039;s going on.

Anyway, I think it&#039;s natural for you to move on from finance. A lot of PF bloggers and writers move on from the subject it seems. Frankly I think I&#039;m going to be coming less than I used to. I don&#039;t want to read Financial advice from people in debt.

I&#039;d rather read Dave Ramsey or Suze Orman people that have conquered themselves and have zero debt. So thanks for all the fish. I&#039;ve learned a lot but I guess sometimes you just need to move on. 

My guess is I&#039;ll probably get curious and come here from time to time but it&#039;s not going to be an everyday thing anymore. It&#039;s not the same website without J.D. anymore. The fun thing about this website was reading about your journey ;)

I do wish you the best though J.D. ;)</description>

		<description>Seriously, Scott? 

I&#039;m with Cindy. I have had to take on a tremendous amount of debt to pursue my dream - medicine.  I couldn&#039;t act on much of the advise dispensed to college students; medical school scholarships are hard to get, and the only way to go to an inexpensive school is to get into one and hope they keep their tuition down (mine was moderately priced and then jacked tuition. What the heck could I have done about it?). Working part-time is only feasible during parts of your training. There are no RA positions. My family couldn&#039;t help me and I couldn&#039;t live with them. Sure, I tried to keep expenses down. But I need to eat and pay my tuition, and even with some scholarships it&#039;s not cheap. The alternative for someone with my skills is a lab job. I couldn&#039;t find one pay more than $35k a year. While that&#039;s nothing to laugh at, in the long run I&#039;ll do better and be much happier in medicine, but yes, I&#039;ll have a hole to dig out of.

Kids go to college at 17/18/19. It&#039;s not fair to expect them to be financial superstars, especially if their family isn&#039;t helpful. If you haven&#039;t gone to school recently, your frame of mind is skewed by how affordable school used to be. It&#039;s become incredibly expensive, but it&#039;s really difficult to get a job without a degree. Everyone is vying for scholarships and part-time work. It&#039;s not an easy feat to escape debt free. I&#039;d rather read about someone dealing with all that debt than hear the same diatribe about keeping costs down.</description>

		<description>JD, you should not have to do this manually every day!!  There are programs out there that should let you queue posts in advance.  Barring that, El Nerdo had a great suggestion to outsource this!  Get a virtual assistant, and pay him or her to post for you at a certain time of day.</description>

		<description>I was wondering the same thing.  I was actually surprised to read that JD manually posts these entries every day.  There have got to be programs out there that will allow him to stack stories in advance &amp; schedule them to post on specific days.  If not, he needs to hire an IT person to write a publishing program for him.  It would be a great investment since he&#039;d get his time back, and readers would appreciate the continuity.  I expect randomly posted content on amateur blogs, but not on well-established and professionally-toned venues such as this one.</description>

		<description>Most people who have advanced degrees graduate with tons of debt (including physicians, dentists, etc.).  This is not unusual.  It seems that her chosen career path warrants this level of investment in her education, so that also makes sense.  I&#039;ll be curious to know how she and her husband manage their finances to eliminate it.</description>

		<description>Alfred, I would suggest you check out some of the following sites if you&#039;re interested in investing and reading more from people also in the 3rd or 4th stage:

www.seekingalpha.com
www.early-retirement.org
www.bogleheads.org

A few of the blogs that I follow are:  
www.ritholz.com
www.abnormalreturns.com
www.thereformedbroker.com
www.insidermonkey.com</description>

		<description>I think reading Honey&#039;s bio gives a clue about the high student debts. She&#039;s got a BA, MA and PhD, and her husband went through law school - I think that explains a lot! Of course everyone is entitled to their own opinion, but having read almost every single try-out post over the past few weeks, Honey&#039;s is one of the few that stuck with me and I still remember it. So I am definitely looking forward to reading more from her!! Great choices, JD, and best of luck to all your projects!</description>

		<description>I don&#039;t care what time stuff is posted either (I actually rather read posts I&#039;m interested in late, when there&#039;s comments) but we all have our little rituals.  I know a number of people who check certain sites every morning at work with their first coffee of the day, it&#039;s a habit they enjoy before getting stuck into the mayhem.  Nothing wrong with telling the editor that!</description>

		<description>Yes the Simple Dollar used to be in my favorites list - deleted it a couple of months ago. Just became so tedious to read!</description>

		<description>What a bad decision having us read anything from Honey Smith.  Getting that much debt coming out of college shows they know nothing about finances whatsoever.  Why would I want to read something from someone who has made such bad choices already.

Catch a clue.  Usually you do a pretty good job of making decisions.  This is truly a bad one.</description>

		<description>Understand the concerns (and perks!) of the anonymous writer, as it facilitates writing about your life from a distance. Its certainly a line I&#039;ve walked myself in my own blog. 

My point is only that it appears less mature to me somehow, again in the blog as a respectable source of information.  Call me crazy, I like to see a byline with an actual name. Someone I can look at and say, &#039;huh, yep they know whats up&#039;. By their past work. By their education. You are fortunate in having the clearly established reputation here, it gets you around much of that for existing readers. 

Were I new and saw a financial piece by &quot;El Nerdo&quot;, I might have a whiskey tango foxtrot moment. The same would be true with Ingio Montoya. Or to some degree even Honey Smith. I admit, maybe its all about the pseudonym.  Roger Waters for instance (or the like) I&#039;d not question.</description>

		<description>As a new reader I agree with Cybrgeezer. I&#039;m hooked on GRS but going through the archives seems like a huge pain, especially when I don&#039;t know where to start.  Part of the appeal of GRS is that I&#039;m always surprised with the topic of the day.</description>

		<description>I think it will be nice to have some new writers. One of the good things about GRS is how different the voices are in speaking on the (relatively) same subject. New authors might be more likely to interact with reader comments as well. Not that there was anything wrong with the old authors or anything, but I tend to like a greater variety of ideas.</description>

		<description>Glad to hear an update on the future of GRS!  I do wish you&#039;d have posted the audition pieces next to each of the new writers - I&#039;m too lazy to hunt through the archives.

Welcome to everyone though, I can&#039;t wait to see what variety you may bring.

PS. Yes, regular hours starting next week will be great!</description>
