I apologize for the down-time over the past few hours. Things seem to be back to normal. Let’s cross our fingers.
The great part about writing this site is that I’m able to help others work toward their financial goals. I love to share what I learn, and to read what you are doing to achieve [...]

I had a great time at Get Rich Slowly during November. I had fun writing articles, had fun sharing guest posts, and had fun reading the comments you folks shared. There were some great discussions, both on the blog and in the forums. There’s more interesting stuff scheduled for December, but I’m really looking forward [...]

Get Rich Slowly turns eighteen this week! Eighteen months, that is.
