Looks like I jumped on the Personal Finance Blog bandwagon at just the right time. The New York Times today ran an article featuring the blog of the first PF blog that I ever read: Bloggingawaydebt. She was the inspiration to start this blog in the first place. The author of the article says that “the blogs open a…shockingly canded window on the…finances of American households.” It also mentions one of the motivations for keeping these sorts of blogs in the first place: they make us conscious of our own spending. We worry about letting them down.

Well, I feel the same way. I’m pretty sure that no one reads this very often, but I know that I do, and my wife may (assuming that she’s found this) and this pressure has helped us create and stick to a budget. This first month so far we have been able to pay down 500 in debt. And guess what…the tax refund comes this week and we’ll be able to make a huge dent in the debt. Looking forward to that.
