Fifty Posts, Sixty Days. That’s what I set out to do when I started this blog two months ago. I knew there would be days where life would prevent me from getting a post out, so publishing fifty articles sounded difficult, but plausible. It’s day sixty, and this is my fiftieth post! This means I can finally sleep!

What Now?
I’m definitely not going to try to write fifty posts in the next sixty days, that’s for sure! I’m going to take my time a little bit and will try to get about two really thoughtful posts out every week from now on. I’ll work to improve my presence on Twitter and Facebook (I hope you’re following me on both!). I want to find the time to work on more destination retirement articles, in particular. Since they take a lot of research time, I haven’t been able to write as many as I would have liked, but that will change from now on!
Thanks for joining me on the journey so far. It means so much to me when friends and strangers alike read what I’ve been writing. I’m humbled and honored to have you here.
That was a noble goal. Well done! And welcome to this awesome community. You’ve been a great addition so far!
Thank you so much! There are a few folks who have been very welcoming and kind so far, and you are surely among them! It really does mean a lot to me as I work to find my niche in this community. Thank you.
Hey Vagabond,
I just discovered your site. As a longtime blogger myself, I just want to say: you’re killin’ it. I just got into personal finance and the info here is right up my alley. Can’t believe you put all this together in a few months. Keep it up! You’ve earned at least one new reader.
Thanks, my friend! I sincerely appreciate the encouragement and kind words! I’m glad to have you as a reader, and hope that I can keep coming up with stuff that’s interesting and fun to read. Take care!
