Incredibly enough, today marks one whole year since I started this blog. It’s amazing to go back and see how much the writing has evolved. I often castigate myself for not writing more “serious” stuff (fiction) and how much more time I devote to this blog instead of the other writing, but the writing on here has evolved so that’s good. Check out my first post and you’ll see what I mean.

Anyway, here are some “good” posts from the past year:

• All the Money in the World: A three-part series on what I would do if I had a lot of money.
• The Value of Pictures and Memories: I love taking pictures and it turns out to be a pretty frugal hobby.
• The Lesson Behind Shitty First Drafts: A take-off on Ann Lamott’s essay on writing and editing.
• Rethinking the Buy-and-Hold Strategy: I like this because I reevaluated something I believe in.
• What Scuba Diving Can Teach Us About Money: I love this one.
• Three Things Running Can Teach Us About Personal Finance: This was a guest post but it was a good one.

I wish I had something more illuminating to say, but I’m certainly happy that I’ve made it through a year and that the blog is a lot better than it was when I got started. Hopefully the upcoming year sees more growth, more improvement, and more traffic.

Thanks to all the readers who read and share what they like with others!
