Why I'm starting another blog

I guess the first thing that needs to be done is explain why I'm starting another blog. I do have two others to update and most of my posts have appeared on the blog that bears my name.

The problem is that my readers have mentioned some difficulties. For some unknown reason some people want to follow my rants. Other followers are interested in how I'm getting out of debt (or trying to). Things are now being separated to keep thing simple.

I'm getting out of debt by managing better and by raising additional income. The blogs are helping with that. Each one has and will have links in the sidebar and posts. Plus, there will be sponsored posts that help. The income isn't  huge but all the extra goes on bills.

Raising additional income is what led to my Youve Been Reviewed blog. I love seeing my friends! Eating lunches out with them was eating holes in my pocket. Restaurant  reviews helped me recoup some of the costs. The reviews are on my blog and a writing site.

Traveling is one of my great passions. One of my daughters lives 9 hours away. Plus, we like to take vacations. We always look for the best deals but even with those a trip is still sometimes out of reach. Funding those vacations led to more travel reviews and write ups on different parts of the country.

What we owe is holding us back from what we want to do. I'm getting out of debt so we can accomplish more of what we want to do.

So, there you have it. It's not easy. I've already been frustrated several times! But, I've also paid off two credit cards and removed other bills from our debt load. This gives me hope. You are welcome to join me on the journey. If you do, be sure to sit down and buckle up. It may be a bumpy ride.

  1. Have a vision, and write it down, says the Bible. You are on track to accomplish the goals you have set out to achieve - I am certain that victory will be oh, so sweet. Blessings, rcj
