Get Rich Slowly

If you’re new here, you may want to learn what this site is about. I encourage you to subscribe to my RSS feed. Thanks for visiting!Ah, April. It was a fine month. Get Rich Slowly was named most inspirational personal finance blog by Money magazine, I conducted a couple of interviews, and I made [...]

Aside from Bacon Salt, I don’t usually call attention to the advertising at Get Rich Slowly. However, for the next two weeks there will be a couple of ads in the sidebar that deserve an explanation.
The first is labelled “8 secrets your credit card company doesn’t want you to know”. I think it looks [...]

Though April 2008 isn’t officially National Financial Literacy Month in the United States, many organizations are still treating it as such. (Here in Oregon, for example, it is again statewide financial literacy month.) Because I think basic financial literacy is imperative, I will devote the next few weeks to covering the fundamentals of personal finance. [...]

March was a monumental month in my life — it marked my move to full-time blogger. (Look at all that alliteration!) I spent the first few weeks of this new existence catching up on long-neglected blog chores, but have now begun to focus on my writing. I’m excited about the weeks and months to come! [...]

That’s it. I’m done. My work at the family box factory is officially over. For better or worse, I am now a full-time writer. (More on this later in the weekend.)
It’s going to take me a couple weeks to catch up with all the things I’ve been neglecting around here, but by the beginning of [...]

For the past year, I’ve maintained a list of the best online high-yield savings accounts. (I just updated that article with several new banks and with current rates, by the way.)

Because of concerns with the [...]

“Have you quit the day job yet?” everyone wants to know. “Are you blogging full-time?”
Not yet.
In fact, right now I have less time to write for Get Rich Slowly than at any point since I started the site nearly two years ago. Fortunately, this is a temporary situation.
We’ve hired my replacement at the box [...]

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 [...]

It took 325 days (from 15 April 2006 to 05 March 2007) for Get Rich Slowly to receive its first million visitors. It took 326 days (from 06 March 2007 until today) for the next four million to arrive. The five-millionth visitor just passed through the doors. These numbers amaze me.

I’d like to think that [...]
