Published!
Jul 15th, 2010 by Carlos
Very exciting times around here as I am ecstatic to announce that I’ve been published in a magazine for the very first time. I always wanted to write something worthy of being in a magazine, I just always imagined it would be an exposé or some piece about baseball and how awesome it is.
Instead, my very first published piece is about money. Actually, you may have already read it—Five Money Ratios to Live By appeared on Wisebread back in March. I guess an editor for US Airways Magazine read it, liked it, and wanted to put it in the magazine (which you can read online here). Sweet!
I’m adding some scans of it because that’s what people do when they’re featured in print.
Obviously, the article is longer than that, but what’s the point of scanning the whole thing in here? That’s a bit much.
On an interesting aside, I’ve already gotten one email directly because of this from someone pretty exciting (it’s not Michael Lewis), but more on that later.

Congrats, hope you made some nice “coin” on the article.
I wonder which got more readers – the Wisebread version or the actual magazine printing?
PS – I watched the Blind Side last weekend and loved it, still waiting to get The Big Short from my library – there is a ton of reserves.
Nice!
Congrats on this sweet placement.
Thanks guys!
@Kevin: it’s tough to tell, but I have gotten two emails already that come directly from the magazine piece, so that’s something. This is one of those offline things that’s hard to track because a lot of people may read it (or not), but how are they going to email me right then and there in the plane if they want to? Much easier to just comment on Wisebread.
That is awesome! Congratulations, you deserve it!
Thanks Syd!
Hey, congrats – that kind of attention is always welcome! It is tough to get feedback on online stuff but the simple fact that you’ve been noticed is a big morale boost if nothing else. Good going!
Nice! Congrats.
