My Favorite Posts By Other People, April 2023
I read a lot of personal finance blogs every day. Even though many bloggers seem to be slowing down these days, I still read a number of excellent posts last month. Here are some of my favorites.

I enjoy reading a number of blog posts every day, and like to highlight some of my favorites in a (mostly) monthly post. However, life got busy in December, and I fell behind. Below are some of the posts that resonated most with me over the past five (!) months. Considering all of the upheaval in my personal life, I am not surprised to see that only a few are purely about money.

Happy New Year!
Before I start thinking about hopes and plans for 2023, I do want to reflect a bit on the year that has just ended. It ended with tough times, but I don’t want that to be the only thing I remember about the year.

Away
I don’t know how many people are stopping by this little blog every week to see what’s new.

I suspect that I may not be blogging much (I may keep up with the exercise posts, to get me moving).
Best wishes for a happy holiday season.

Nevertheless, I treat each visit as an opportunity to clear out more items: partly as honor-to-the-guest, partly to make sure she can sit in her favorite comfy chair in the afternoons.

I know we are supposed to think about what we are grateful for in time for Thanksgiving. To, you know, give thanks for what we have.
However, the events of the past few days brought up a number of ways that I am thankful–and they all occurred on or after the holiday. I figure giving thanks is always okay, even if it seems a little late.
Being thankful for money seems awfully tacky, but I am particularly thankful for some of the opportunities that pursuing financial independence allowed me.
One of the great advantages of having a little (or a lot) of extra money is the chance to make other peoples’ lives a little happier. For which I am also thankful.

Between getting ready for vacation, leaving on vacation, and catching up afterwards, I didn’t read as many blog posts as usual. I did want to highlight some of my favorites, I hope you find something interesting to read.

On October 1, 2018, I published my first “real” post on this blog, making this my blogs 4th birthday. Or blogiversary. Happy Blogiversary to me!
Today seems like a good time to reflect on this last year of blogging. And maybe blow my own horn (a little).
