I’ve been keeping it a little secret, but I’ve had a personal milestone for a week now. Last week, I noticed that I was on pace for 10,000 visitors before the new year. On 12/30 around midnight, I had my 10,000th visitor.

I want to thank you all for coming, and I hope you’ve liked what you’ve read. Have a happy New Year!

If you are coming from Five Cent Nickel, welcome! I’m a 30-year old software engineer originally from Boston, but recently relocated to Silicon Valley. I aim for a balanced philosophy of saving money and growing income. So while “a dollar saved is a dollar earned”, I like to say that “a dollar earned is a dollar earned” as well.

To my regular readers:

Mr. Nickel has graciously provided me an opportunity to do a guest post on his site. I decided to write about how I saved money with Ebay in the last month. Please visit Five Cent Nickel. One word of warning… be prepared to spend a few hours and add it to your blog reader. I know I did.

It’s my pleasure to announce an addition to Lazy Man and Money.  The elusive fiancee that I’ve talked about in passing is going to be bringing her own financial thoughts to the site.  Initially she might only post once or twice a week.  There may be weeks where she doesn’t post at all.

Energi Gal will bring an interesting dichotomy to Lazy Man and Money.  She was raised in an atmosphere where personal finance was never talked about and many, many mistakes were made.  In contrast, I grew up reading Kiplinger’s and owning mutual funds at age 14.  She can give an entirely different view point on many issues and raise a lot of new owns.

We are just getting started, stick around it should be a lot of fun.
