Hey everyone! I just wanted to pop in and say Happy New Year! We haven’t done too much because we are both recovering from the nasty and unpleasant stomach flu, but we are of course happy to just be able to relax.
In case you are bored today, here are some of my popular posts from the past year. Click on the headings below to read more. Enjoy!

I’m No Longer An Anonymous Blogger
For around 1.5 years, I was a semi-anonymous blogger. I used my real name, gave out my Facebook profile and so on, but I never posted many pictures of myself directly on my blog. However, that changed and now I am completely public. It does stink a little because I have to be a little more careful about what I publicly share (such as with exact financial amounts).
I eliminated ALL of my student loans in 2013, and to this day it still doesn’t feel real. I’m glad that we could get rid of them so quickly because I really hated having them hang over my head.

I am fairly new so I am still most comfortable with being anonymous (I’m sure that will change with me later on too). But, I feel the same about posting financial amounts. Off to read your other posts related to self-employment! Very excited that I recently found your blog! Happy New Year and best of luck in 2014!

Happy New Year. Looks like you had a great 2013 and I am sure you’ll have an equally as great 2014. I think a business degree, generally, is not a waste!

There definitely some days when I wish I was an anonymous blogger. Being transparent has its drawbacks haha.

Education is NEVER a waste!
