What I Have Learned in the Past Year

11 October, 2008 (11:47) | Blog Contest, Chasing The Bull | By: User ImageDusty

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

The Boss’s Survival Guide

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.
