I'm going to Florida for a week of vacation with the family. The parental units live there so we do a lot of local type stuff like going to the backwoods rednecks to buy a bushel of oysters, crabs, and crawfish. Anyway, one of my goals for this vacation is to get a financial healthcheck. I was reading my free subscription to Kiplingers and ran across a blurb about a guy with a website www.pfblog.com. It seems this guy writes about this personal finance life somewhat anonymously and gets $1000 a month in ad revenue off about a 1000+ regular reader base. Perhaps my wife and I could come up with 3 themed blogs and have similar results. It would give me a chance to exercise my writing. Anyway, more later. The ideas were: 1 on Dentistry , another on Grave's Disease, another on raising TechSmart Kids.
