Top Posts of 2011

December 30, 2011 in Misc, Monthly Top Posts with

Judging from all the blogs I follow, apparently the thing to do near the end of December is list the top posts for the whole year.  I didn’t start back to blogging until April, and didn’t do it very regularly, so this list might seem like half of what I’ve actually posted for the year.  Oh well, here it is – the top 10 posts of 2011:

  1. Mobile Phone Privilege – I’m pretty sure Zack Morris made this one so popular, but I like to think it’s the fact that mobile phones are a privilege not a necessity.  I’m a little disappointed that this one wasn’t closer to the bottom of the list.
  2. Mark & Shawna Asbell Are Officially Debt Free – This is the most exciting thing that happened to us all year, a major milestone in our lives.  I still can’t hardly believe it and I’m so grateful for it.  I’m selfishly a little disappointed that this one wasn’t at the top of the list.  EVERYONE should be so excited for us and want to read about it  :-)
  3. “No” Is Easy When “Nothing” Is There – It’s no less difficult saying no when there is money in the bank than it is when there is NO money in the bank.
  4. Get Help Now - Stop putting off getting help because of your pride, heart issue, or lack of trust.  Get Help Now!
  5. My Parents’ 40th Anniversary (series) – My parents celebrated their 40th wedding anniversary this year and I wrote a little series to honor them and their example.
  6. Boomerangers (series) – This 2-part series addresses a concern many families are facing these days.  What do you do when your grown children move back home?
  7. Daddy’s Barber Shop - One of the little ways I’m frugal and ever little bit adds up to a lot over time.
  8. Kyle Got Married – My brother-in-law got married and I reflected on some important words of wisdom from my wedding day.
  9. One Major Step Closer To Divorce - A pretty strong case for why couples shouldn’t have separate finances.
  10. Intentional Relationship - We have to be intentional about our relationship or it will “unintentionally” fall apart.
It’s been a great year and I can’t wait to see what this list looks like at the end of 2012.

Happy New Year!

Top Posts of August 2011

September 2, 2011 in Monthly Top Posts, Series with

Financial Influence - I hope people are paying closer attention to who they take their financial cues from.  @TurboJaneM liked this one.

Expense of Raising a Child – This post can help so many couples who are looking for where to start when it comes to preparing for children.

I Didn’t Tell You Because… – This one is my personal favorite because even @ShawnaAsbell liked it.  I think she likes a lot of it but when she actually promotes it in her social media circles I know it must be REALLY good  :-)

Get Rid of Financial Allergies – @MikeDriscoll is allergic to debt in general.  Me too!  Makes my neck twitch my head to the side.

My Parent’s 40th Anniversary Series – I love my parents and hope they see 50 years together.

Part of the reason I review this each month is to see what type of stuff is serving people the best.  I truly do want to help people, particularly in relationships and finances.  Thank you so much for reading, commenting, tweeting, liking, etc.  Since most of you know me I have to express how blessed I am to have such great friends and family.  And if I don’t know you yet please get to know me by contacting, following, friending, or commenting.  Let’s start a conversation and be a part of each others journey.
