For such an errant personal finance blogger, I've certainly had a nice streak of luck the last couple of weeks. First the press in Spain, and now I won a $50 Smartypig card from 2million over at 2 Million's Personal Finance Blog. 2million hosted a comment contest last week--to win, you had to subscribe to his blog (I already was) and write what your financial goals were. I was a little flippant (now my face is red!) and wrote:
I read you via my Google reader. My financial goals? To take over the world! But first I'll settle for paying off the rest of my credit card debt (just $1800 to go!) and using my Smartypig account to get an emergency savings in place.In other news, my GF and I are moving in with each other in July! Big steps! We've been dating for three years now, and we're happy. It will be a nice financial relief for me, because I'll pay about $200-$300 less in rent/month, and can carpool with a friend who lives in the area I'm moving to.
That's all! I'm off to write.

congrats!! just sent you an email on this...hope you'll remember those that helped you get started :-) when you finish taking over the world
You're moving in with your girlfriend to eh? I agree it's a big step. I will be moving in with my gf this summer as well. The savings are huge. I to will save about $300 a month. You can almost fully fund your Roth IRA on those savings alone. Alas I will be paying off student debt instead, the Roth will have to wait a little while.
