My Daily Dollars

Hi everyone!  Poor “My Daily Dollars” certainly landed in the pile of ignored blogs.  I want to thank several people who’ve checked in recently to see what happened!

All is well with married life.  We’re currently working to merge our finances and create a five-year plan.  I still budget faithfully and am happy to report no new credit card debt.  Yay!  However, after gaining a dozen pounds while blogging, I had to tweak our grocery budget.  We now spend a little extra on fresh fruits and veggies.  I’m hoping the budget will go down once our local farmer’s market opens.

While I may update things over here once in a while, I wanted to announce that a new project is in the works!  As you can tell, my passion does not lie in personal finance.  Once I got our finances under control and beat back the credit card beast, I lost the motivation to keep writing about PF.  However, I loved blogging, especialy interacting with all the other PF bloggers and readers.

After a lot of soul searching, I realized that I tend to flit from obsession to obsession.  There’s a laundry list of hobbies in my past; I love cooking; I had great fun blogging about our wedding.  However, it was tough to find a topic that I can sustain over the long haul for a new blog.

Finally, I realized that there has been ONE constant through all my interests: books!  As you remeber, I reviewed several personal finance books along my way here.  So, starting in May, you’ll be able to find me at a new site dedicated to book reviews.  I’ll update the URL here when I launch the site.  I hope you’ll want to follow me there as I expose each and every book I read.  Trust me, it will be an interesting journey!
