*sigh, pressed send too soon. Meant to clarify that I also have Jetpack installed and your tip about turning off the enhancement features is something that I should probably also do.

Carry on friends!

O.O Just reading this now and pretty sure I thought “enhancement” was like “plastic surgery enhancement” so in my mind, I was saying, “Yes!” Dang, who knew maintaining a blog could lead to so many technical issues?

Belated congrats on doing so well your first month!

That’s very true, finance isn’t a big draw in normal conversation. Thanks for stopping by Troy!

Thank you Luxe!! You should see Ms.FAF’s first month, she had 5k in views lol!

Oh I hate that myth too. It’s bad because it gives people an excuse NOT to save. I always want to say “if I grew up in SF on minimum wage without bankrupting, you can do it too” but it’s too harsh to say in real life so I say it on the Internet LMAO!

Yes yes join us! I just invited you with the email at Luxe teehee.

You’re doing great! Blew my first month #s right out of the water. I have no doubt you’ll make your June page views.

I started blogging because my friends and coworkers were always asking me for advice on money, like, “when are you starting your blog???” And also because I thought it would be helpful for people to see how you can still be frugal in an expensive city. There’s this myth that people can’t “afford” to live here, and that’s such a negative attitude.

Thanks for the forums tip! I never knew that existed, but I’m gonna mosey over there now.

Thank you Courtney 🙂 thanks for stopping by!

You sound it sounds funny but that’s me too. I just realized one day that it’s actually odd to be financially secure – which blew my mind. When I was in 7th grade I thought everyone had to be a millionaire because what else are they doing with the money! So naiive…:)

I started blogging because I have a lot of friends (and some family) who are/we’re constantly making really poor financial decisions. It made me realize that there’s a lot of people out there without guidance and who are not very savvy when it comes to finance and I wanted to share what I can with all those out there! It’s also been a learning process for me. There’s so many bloggers out there with such great ideas 🙂
