October was a real fun month here at Free From Broke! I started off the month celebrating my first year of blogging. Through the 15th I had a contest running asking everyone to me what they planned to do with their finances in the next year. I also wrote about poverty as a contributor to Blog Action Day 2008. It was great team up with bloggers all over to educate people about poverty and what we can do to eradicate it. To end the month I hosted the 36th Money Hacks Carnival – Scary Finances Edition. I hope you checked it out and visited all of the contributing sites.
The comments section has been on fire lately! I love seeing reader responses. Part of what makes this fun for me is seeing readers’ thoughts on my articles so please continue to leave comments. Don’t be shy either!
