Dave Ramsey. I admit I am a full-on disciple, as I've mentioned here before. I also sometimes listen to this local radio dude named Denny Smith... but honestly, he's pretty much a local Dave Ramsey without the Tennessee accent and I'm convinced that the radio station likes it that way because they don't have to shell out the big bucks to have DR's syndicated show. And that, my friends, is using DR's plan against him. (Kinda like buying his books used. Muahahahaha!) 2. I can't think of any posts that I really hate. The cartoons keep me coming back fo'sho'. 3. Tom Cruise is crazy. Besides, he's married, but mostly he's crazy. I'm married and you're almost married. So how's about I keep my lips to myself? (Or rather, share them with my own hubby.) 1.

I am from West Virginia, which is considered a "poor state". I will soon be going through a lot of the stuff you're going through, and possibly leaving my protective bubble to live somewhere else (more expensive D:). P.S. Tom Cruise is insane, so I'd kiss you.

I was first introduced to the concepts of investing and financial intelligence through many of the books I read, and now I stick around on PF blogs to further my education on the matter. I also spent a lot of time with people I know in person, learning from people who blunder in their investments. You know, the buy hold and pray gambling approach that the typical person does. It gives me insight on what not to do. Heh heh. I'm particularly infatuated with precious metals. I love writing about it. It's been one of my most favorite asset classes, even long before this particular bull market has happened. Being a dragon and all. :P No need to ask; I'm already subscribed. :P I get a lot of my financial education on the internet and on the street.

As a woman, I love reading your posts about the wedding, your marriage and apartment hunting, as these are all things I've been through in the last year so I can relate. I stopped reading blogs like Simple Dollar because they are SO centered around PF advice. My favorite PF blogs are the ones that include a lot of personal and a lot of finance. It feels like I know those bloggers better than the ones who just blog advice, and I can get more out of someone else's failure/success story than reading a list of tips. So, please, don't change your direction! This blog is about PERSONAL finance, and if readers don't like it, they can go elsewhere until after the wedding. ;-) 1. I'm subscribed to this blog, Fabulously Broke in the City, Rainy Day Saver, Affecting Change in Me, Funny About Money, Little Miss Moneybags, and My Pretty Pennies, just to name a few. All of these blogs dole out financial advice while including their own personal situations. It makes them feel more human than blogs like Simple Dollar. 2. My favorite topics you write about... Hmm... Well, I've enjoyed every single one of your wedding/marriage related posts. They're very relatable, as almost everyone has lived with a significant other or been married. I also enjoy your posts on apartment hunting, budgeting and your hypothetical scenarios. They're always pretty hilarious. Like some others said, I don't dig net worth posts on any blogs I read. I guess I'd rather read personal stories about getting out of debt than see the actual numbers at work. I get enough of that working my own budget. ;-) 3. Sorry, Tom Cruise, I'm taken! :-p I never have thought he was that attractive though. A little too short. p.s. Your unsubscribe link was hilarious.
