Well, I just noticed that I started Your Money Relationship on July 2, 2008. That makes this site 1 year and 6 days old. So, I’m a little late but it has been a great year here and I am very grateful that I have made it this far. I know that it has been a weird year. I posted infrequently for a few months and changed the design of the site multiple times but I just want to thank everyone for sticking with me.

Looking Back

I wanted to share with you my favorite posts over the past year.

Looking Forward

As many of you already know, I have recently added another blogger to the site. His name is Chris and he is going to be blogging about getting out of $150,000+ in debt. I think Chris will add a lot of additional topics that I would not have otherwise covered.

I also look to be back to blogging at a faster pace once my new job begins in August. Up until then I will be pretty inactive as I am getting married next week and we are heading to Jamaica after that.

Once again, I want to thank all of you readers for the great conversations over the past year. I look to many more!
