MMM has made such a difference in our lives that .....
« on: November 04, 2012, 07:31:34 PM »
We have been fans of MMM for a while now. He has opened our minds to the possibilities of ER and FI to such an extent that we have been "turning the ship" so to speak and will be looking at FI and ER in 3-5 years. We have started a blog in tribute to MMM to preach his teachings and rant about our own lifestyle changes (although some not quite extreme as his) at our new blog. I'm not sure if this is ok to post but I'll give it a go - www.THEFIGUY.com is where we reside and will be detailing our financial journeys to FI and ER over the next couple of years and beyond. I am new to blogging and hope I can come off as inspirational as MMM does without seeming like I'm talking down to anybody. We're learning as we go so wish us the best. Keep up the good work MMM and those here in the forums!!!

Good start. That's another bookmark to add to my frugality collection. Looking forward to seeing more.

Thanks Ozstache! I've never been a blogger and this is a new venture for me. Please excuse my updates, design changes and corrections along the way as everyday I learn a little more and become more dangerous! Lol, It's kinda like being a mustachian, the more you learn the better you get. Thanks again for tuning in!

Hi,

the new blog looks great and i'll keep reading along in the future.  One constructive comment - A Middle Class Families Journey - in the title - should be a possesive - its your family and their journey not a plural.  Looking forward to new posts!

Al,

Thanks for the constructive input. Being new to blogging and trying to get my thoughts out of my head and onto the screen it's easy to overlook my mistakes, especially one as obvious as that one! Lol. In addition to that, there are a few other issues that I'm trying to get worked out when time allows as it's been busy around here lately with the holidays on top of us.

1) Only in Internet Explorer does my background image behind "The Financial Independence Guy" show up with the image for a second or two and then go black (???)

2) On some browsing sessions the site won't show up unless there is a "www." in front of it (thought I had that one figured out).

3) Keeping the background image static with the posting scrolling down in every browser.

4) There's a few additional issues with the mobile version of the site that I'll get to once the above issues are resolved.

..... Once again thank you for the input! I'll be taking a much deserved three week vacation from work here at the end of December and will be making some small tweaks and changes to the blog but nothing too major. It's people like you and MMM that keep me stoked in this journey to FI. I love hearing all of the stories about people gaining their lives back and hope that our blog can aspire others to do the same. I'll have a couple more posts coming up in the next 2 - 3 weeks so keep checking in.

Thanks again!

Vince
