Favorite Posts, Mentions, and Top Comments Week of 13October2013
Another uneventful week for us – I’m still doing my normal activities and Kyle is still thesis-writing like a madman. I’m trying to get some work out to my collaborators but it hasn’t been going terribly well. The timing of this retreat that I’m on (I’m in Wilmington, NC!) wasn’t the greatest for that reason, but isn’t that always how it goes? I’m happy for the break in routine!
I have a guest post up at Get Rich Slowly this morning – please check it out and leave me comments!

Sarah from 20 Something Budget added to my criticism of ‘You should spend more and save less’: “As for his advice about “living like you would 10 to 15 years from now,” why not live like you do now in 10 or 15 years? The average family could save thousands upon thousands of dollars by simply avoiding lifestyle inflation as their income increases.”

Thank you very much for the mention this week!
Wow! A guest post at Get Rich Slowly? That’s a pretty good accomplishment and a terrific way to get some new attention / traffic to your site. Just be prepared for trolls. Some of the comments on that site can get a little ugly. But I’m sure you will be able to keep them in line!
MMD | My Money Design recently posted..Your Plan for How to Become Financially Independent
Yes, I’ve noticed that in some other posts. My post is VERY positive and the I think the worst thing someone could say about it is that I’m bragging. But I’m sure a few people will find something to quibble with. If it’s constructive I’ll engage, if not I’ll let it pass. I am steeling myself!
