Thanks for the compliment. I've been fortunate so far. I only write about once a week but try to focus on well-written, detailed articles. I'd love to write more but can only dedicate one night a week to it (plus some spill-over for longer posts). I have a full-time job and an active two year old who goes to bed at 9:00. By the time he's in bed, I'm pooped. I just block out Tuesday nights to work solid from 7 to 12.

Most importantly, I've loved every minute of it so far. While the adsense revenue is certainly nice and I'd love to grow it into a full-time thing, I started blogging with the number one priority of sharing my experiences to help people finally get control over their finances. My number two rule was that I would only do it if I found it enjoyable and worthwhile even if I never made any money. Finally, my number three goal was to make money and potentially replace or greatly supplement my existing income.

These agreements with myself have made it a no lose situation. I'm excited to share ideas with like-minded people on this forum. I've read Steve's stuff since before there was a stevepavlina.com and he's been a source of inspiration for me. I hope to provide similar inspiration and help for people dealing with their personal finances.
