getting back in touch with the financial side
There have been many contributing factors to why I’ve neglected our finances the past few months — the biggest one is simply not thinking about them. When you’re reading and writing about your finances frequently, it’s pretty hard to not think about them. The day after we closed on our house, I left my job and all of my personal finance bookmarks and posting habits. As I let life take over, I stopped reading the personal finance blogs that had offered more than a years worth of inspiration and stopped posting.
I’m finally rebuilding my pfblogs reading lists and trying to figure out this rss thing. I’ve set time in my schedule for posting (2-3 times a week) and a weekly appointment to face our finances. Hopefully, these measures will eliminate my continued procrastination. Oh, and if anyone can tell me what kind of free rss reader will list all subscribed to posts in chronological order, I’d be happy to give it a try. I’m giving Sage a try, but it seems to only display posts from individual sites in order — I really don’t want to have to click on every site I read to see whats new for that day.
I look forward to catching up on the many sites I’ve not been reading and checking out some new ones that have been on the scene the past few months. Thank you for the comments and emails I’ve received the past few months, it’s great knowing that my absence has been noticed. Maybe I’ll even make it out to one of the local pfblogger happy hours — though I admit DC is a real drive for me now.
