This Blogger in a Head Spin

I have not posted much over the summer months. I wanted to let you know why: I have a financial headache. I have financial paralysis. I am out of helpful hints, in a sense.

All this doom and gloom financial forecasts in the news recently gave this blogger pause. I started this blog years ago to help people understand basic and fundamental personal finance concepts. Namely, I wanted to help people eliminate their credit card debt. But, as I was writing, the credit situation in this country worsened and–ultimately–became so severe that I had writer’s block.

No. It was worse than that. I had blogger’s paralysis.

I didn’t know what to write about or what topics to cover. It all seemed so large, intimidating, and unsolvable.

But during these months, my nest egg has continued to grow–albeit a little slower than in the past. Prices are going up. Wages are staying the same. The financial pinch is felt all around the world.

But I just needed a little prodding.

I have found the inspiration again. And it is in returning to basics.

So, with that…I look forward to seeing you around here more often.
