Get Rich Slowly Blog

I’m a fan of the “Get Rich Slowly Blog” not because I agree with all of it, but because of the concept. The author (who doesn’t reveal his/her identity which I absolutely hate!) is so sensible. The idea that getting rich or getting out of debt, or making any positive changes in our personal finances takes effort over time is very sensible!

The Get Rich Slowly Blog was one of three of the best money blogs recognized by CNN Money.

I would rather focus on earning more passive income and growing my income than on saving every cent. Though it depends on where you’re at financially. Some are more content to focus on frugality. I definitely don’t advocate overspending and lavish lifestyles, but if you have the money and want to, I’m not going to judge you! I do believe extra money is an extra chance to do something good.

This is one of the most popular personal finance blogs on the Internet for a reason.

Money gives you more options, but happiness makes life worth living. I believe that if we’re able to stay happy and in control of our lives, money actually becomes easier to manage.

The blogger notes how he/she paid off $35,000 in debt and lives by these principles:

Money is more about mind than it is about math.

Goals are important.

Spend less than you earn.

Pay yourself first.

Small amounts matter.

Large amounts matter, too.

Do what works for you.

Slow and steady wins the race.

The perfect is the enemy of the good.

Failure is okay.

It’s more important to be happy than it is to be rich.

Do it now.
