Joining the Yakezie Challenge
The Yakezie is a large network of personal finance bloggers that I decided to join in order to meet with more fellow bloggers. One of the things that make blogging interesting is meeting and interacting with other people who don’t necessarily share the same opinions or interests. I hope that this move will enrich our discussions and challenge my ideas on this site. Big thanks to Kevin from Invest It Wisely for introducing me to this network and encouraging me to join in.
