Yakezie Weekend Round-up #1

Well, it was yet another epic week of personal finance articles from my good friends over at Yakezie. In light of the current negotiations with the United States debt limit, I think it’s more important than ever that we take control of our finances, get rid of debt and live a truly American lifestyle.

In other big news, I’m officially a member of the Yakezie network!  This is big news for this blog, it’s been a battle to get down to 200,000 Alexa rating.  Currently I’m sitting at 120,000 and still dropping.  I’d love to see 75,000 by December!  It was a journey full of new relationships and tons of hard work.  Finally completing the Yakezie challenge is what is giving me extra inspiration to keep working on this site and put in even more hours.  To those that helped me get here (you know who), a big THANK YOU!
