For those of you that are visiting after reading my post @ Free Money Finance, thanks for stopping by, I appreciate it!

If you were to read through my archives you would find that this is a personal finance blog, obviously. However, I like to consider it “sensible” personal finance. What do I mean by sensible PF? I won’t write about extreme frugality because a lot of those ideas are just too much work for me! Whereas I love reading about extreme frugality it just isn’t my cup of tea. But, I will certainly write about how to get rid of your cable bill or repair your own bicycle since the cost savings could be huge. Those are the kinds of things that interest me. I also post a lot about how to improve the quality of your life. And another thing you will find here that you won’t find on other PF blogs? Every Friday I post an original comic that is created by my girlfriend and relate it to a financial, educational, or career issue.

I think you will find a lot of useful information on this site. Whether my content is relevant to you or someone you know, I urge you to subscribe to my site’s feed for a week or two and see if you like what you read. If you do, pass it on to someone who could also find my posts informative!

I thought it would be helpful to go and link a few articles that may be of interest to you:

• The Savings Account, The Spending Account & The Charity Account – One thing that my blog offers that not a lot of blogs do (not sure of any, at least!) is that both my girlfriend and I write posts. She has just started writing and the post linked is her debut. She goes over her childhood and how her parents instilled the need to save and donate before she was allowed to spend. Keep on the lookout — she has a post going up on Bible Money Matters next week!
• Buying a Dog Saved Me Money – One topic that FMF is great about promoting is the cost of pet ownership. I couldn’t agree with him more that people need to be educated about the costs before making such a huge decision! But in this post I go over a few ways my dog will save me money over the long run. Keep in mind, though, that I did not get a dog for these reasons at all!
• Glass Door : Know Your Worth – FMF is huge on talking about how important it is to increase your income. That can be much more beneficial than decreasing your costs often times. I like promoting this site because not many people seem to know about it. I don’t get anything for promoting it, it is not an affiliate program… just the satisfaction of knowing someone might get paid more because of it. Sign up and you can look up the salaries for a lot of different jobs at a lot of different companies.
• Student Loans Driving Your Career? – Since we are all FMF readers, we all know that he got his MBA for a VERY low cost. This post is a look at how graduates are weighing their career options based on the amount of student debt they have and the potential income from employers. Will this equate to happiness or not?
• Slash Your Cable Bill w/ These 3 Methods – A series of posts that I wrote for my own site. I hate paying for a cable bill. Why? Most of the TV shows I watch are available online! I go over how to connect your computer to your TV, how to make your Xbox 360 wireless for only $20 which then allows you to stream video and music from your computer to your TV, and how to stream Hulu/YouTube/CNN/ESPN/etc to your TV using an Xbox 360 or PS3. By doing a combination of those options you may not even need to subscribe to cable, I know I don’t!
• Tax Guide for a Recent Graduate (Or Otherwise Confused Person) – AND another series of posts I wrote for my site! A walk-through of how to fill out a W-4, how to figure out taxable income, and how to actually file the taxes. I found that a lot of my peers were CONFUSED (big emphasis!) when they graduated college, moved out, and had to file taxes for their new jobs. I was in that same position not too many years ago so I thought it would be a useful guide to help a grad out!
• Graduate Without Debt: Wrap-up – A series of posts that I hosted across 3 other bloggers. I made a post for Jim @ Bargaineering, Green Panda Treehouse, and Stephanie @ Poorer Than You. I detailed all of the ways in which a student can graduate without debt. These three core concepts entailed savings vehicles, financial aid, and reducing costs. PARENTS, one of the articles is aimed at you and has to do with proper financial planning from when your child is born, or even earlier!

There are plenty more posts but I thought I would start you out with a few!
