In reply to nicole. It's been a lot of things really, not just one thing. Ad revenue down, wife no longer working, etc. Just a phase (hopefully) :)

Cool man, I’m glad you enjoy reading about this stuff – sometimes it feels weird dishing my thoughts all the time like a diary :) It’s nice to know people get something out of it.

I love that – “planning” your life rather than reacting to it – that’s hard to do! And looks like you are now presented with the perfect opportunity to do it :) Still can’t believe all that stuff w/ MSN – that’s nutso… If you ever need anything you know where to find me!

What happened that you lost an income? I must have missed that post.

Congrats!

I couldn’t imagine having two right now. Between the financial implications and overall increase in responsibilities. Our Little Warrior is 8 months now and everyday we are still learning something.

I’m looking forward to seeing how you handle the new financial bearing. I know you will do well with it, but you explaining the up’s and down’s is always fun, for me at least, to read and learn from.

J you’ve got great optimism which is the key to bouncing back from everything. No woe be me here. Isn’t the power of compounding amazing when you get to that money.
If I lost half my income I would freak out and change my blog to wherethefrickismymoney.

$400k is really good! You must be proud of everything your family has accomplished. Congratulations! I hope that I can also accomplish that. Thank you very much for sharing this great post!

After Microsoft kicked all its writers to the virtual curb, I decided not to try and replace all that income right away. Instead, I’m writing one or two posts a week for Money Talks News (which will cover my basic expenses), taking some deep breaths and thinking about planning my life rather than simply reacting to it.
As I recently posted on my own site, “Time is something we can’t do over.”
I’m pretty happy with the decision, but wavered a little yesterday after writing a HUGE freakin’ check to my credit card company (medical bills + FinCon + staying after the conference to visit with my daughter). Still, I think everything will be copacetic: Like you, I just need to be mindful about spending for a while.
Sorry we didn’t have more time to chat at FinCon — it was crazy for me this year.
