I’m in training, so I’m struggling to have anything to write at all this week. I am brain-fried from powerpoints and all too-energetic presenters.
I’ve been reading Millionaire Mommy Next Door. I keep meaning to blogroll her. I don’t read all the time, but I do think her data driven analysis is convincing. She’s smart and reasoned with her contrarian strategies, especially on homeownership. I’m ready to start renting again, but that’s because I hate my HOA.
J.D. at Get Rich Slowly, because he’s an old pal of mine. His car is setting him back a ways, but it’s coming out of his emergency fund.
Paidtwice at I’ve Paid For This Twice Already. I feel like her blog needs an exclamation point at the end of it. As if to say, “I Can’t Believe It’s Not Butter!” It’s very mommy-oriented though, just so you know. Lots of links to family resources. I wish I could say that I partake of them, but I’m still ‘happily single! YAY! *claps hands*’ to quote the corporate trainer. I swear, that’s the best thing I learned all week. To be happy I am single. (Though technically, the trainer is divorced or some other sort of unmarried.)
And finally, GRACEful Retirement. A very different perspective from the under-30-OMG-my-student-loans-are-killing-me category of PF blogs. A late saver, but a mother thinking about college saving and getting by. This is not to say that the Under 30 blogs are bad. There’s just a lot of them and Grace is coming from a very different perspective.

Thanks for reading
I try to keep most of the mommy stuff on the mom blog but I know I fail at that. Here’s to aiming at universal appeal lol
Thanks, mapgirl, for the nice compliments! I appreciate your feedback and the mention of my blog to your readers here.
Congrats on your new job! I hope your fried brain has the opportunity to recover soon.
“The under 30 blogs” LOL .. I’m happy to report the existence of some “around 30 blogs” with off of the beaten path approaches. You can find some of them in my not so up-to-date blog roll.
Good blog choices!
Being childless makes me happy too. If I need a fix, I take my best friend’s kids to the park.
I like Grace, Millionaire Mommy, and JD and read them as time allow – I hadn’t heard of Paid Twice.
Good blogs, all. I remember calling you (among others) a “baby blogger” a few months back when I listed the blogs I read regularly. I meant that in a good way–I only wish that I had the handle on my finances at your age that you have. Thanks for the mention. Us old fogeys matter, too–sometimes as bad examples, but more often, as proof that it’s never to late to start managing our finances.
For the under 30 crowd, you mean that sometimes you can have too much of a good thing. Don’t you?
Forgive me posting a link to my own Cafepress shop. You post just reminded me of the shirt I’ll be wearing on Valentine’s Day this year.
(The message on it is ’single, happy’)
EDITED: Chosha, I’m sorry. I edited your comment because I can’t tell if this is spam or not. If anyone wants to find the Cafepress shop, they can visit Chosha’s blog.
