MR Review 2011, Jan 9 – A Busy Time - Welcome to Money ReasonsWelcome to Money Reasons

A Busy Time

The start of the new year has been busier that I expected. So to focus on the direction that I’m trying to accomplish, I’ve decided to miss posting a few days per week for a temporary time period.

Today I decided to list my favorite posts in a random fashion, there will be no order below, it will totally be first site that comes to my mind.

Thanks, I’ve been lookin at the group closely, thinking that eventually the cost of natural gas would rise again, and owning such stock would be a good investement…

Thanks for the link Money Reasons! I hope you find your track 🙂

I look forward to Mr. Penny’s return!

I’m thinking about bring the series back as a monthly post instead of weekly. I enjoy creating the comic series, but it’s too draining for now. I need to grow the moneyreasons.com blog in other ways first.

This is why I’m a blogger.

So I can blow off steam semi-anonymously and just RANT 🙂

Luckily, I don’t have to work with those people everyday. *phew*

Thanks for the link, Don!

Thanks, I created a few DIY posts inthe past, but I still have a few left in me 🙂

Thanks for the mention! I’ve been able to post 3 times a week for a while, but next month will really be busy with the baby coming along. Probably need to line up some guest posts.

That’s a great idea! I admit, this past week I didn’t see myself slipping a bit, but I did. Next week I hope to contain the missed days to only 2 (if I’m lucky).
