What I Have Learned in the Past Year
It is no secret that one of my favorite personal finance blogs is MiB. Hank does such a great job writing about subjects that really hit close to home.
If you have not checked out MiB lately, you owe it to yourself to spend a few hours catching up. When not debunking the 25 most outrageous money myths, Hank is developing really cool widgets that try and give you a true value of your blog based of traffic, links, etc. He is even hosting a huge contest, along with Free From Broke, in which you can win the following prizes:
$125 in cash
Books
How to Finance Your Invention or Great Idea
One of the ways to earn additional entries into the contest is to discuss “The Things That I have Learned This Year”.
Over the past year, I have come to realize that my family is the most important thing in the world. When I was in my 20s, I had one goal; make money so I could retire early. What I failed to understand is that if I did not have such a wonderful family, retirement would not have been as wonderful as it will be.
Weekends are now filled with games of “Chase”, which involves me running after my 2 year-old son, pretending that I cannot catch him, playing with Thomas the Tank Engine, throwing a Nerf football, and watching the Veggie Tales.
And to be honest, I could not be any happier!

Thanks for the tip on the site. I will check it out. I know what you mean about playing chase. I have a 4.5 and 1 year old son’s who love to wrestle and run and just be crazy. My ultimate goal is early retirement so I can spend all the time with them.
