A Week's Worth At PFBlog Network #16
A warm welcome to everyone who found PFBlog.com at Wall Street Journal Sunday! Thank you for visiting us.
A quick introduction to our new readers: PFBlog.com operates as two complementary parts. Our main blog, dubbed "My Personal Finance Journey," started more than two years ago as my personal diary (and public record) of earning my first million dollars thru smart money management. As you can see in this brief guide, the theme of the blog is setting goals and executing towards goals. I share my progress monthly and discuss every minute detail of my thinkings, readings and analysis of personal finance issues that affect me.
The other half of PFBlog.com, Personal Finance Bloggers' Network, was formed in March 2005. Many famous personal finance bloggers voluntarily provide content to allow PFBlog.com to be the one-stop blogging portal for personal finance topics.
We now have more than 1,500 posts at PFBlog.com. Every week, we add dozens of new posts and summarize the best posts at PFBlog.com for you in a quick post like this. Read on and enjoy what PFBlog.com has offered in the past seven days!
