… that I gotta wear shades. I’ve been busting with happiness the last couple of days. One of the Internet social networking companies has offered to fly me in for an in-person interview. The company seems to be really going places. They are small enough that I can make a difference there, and big enough that I don’t have to worry about them going out of business.

I have reason to believe that I’m going to be getting a 50% raise over what I was making at the same time last year. I’m not sure what I’m going to be doing with the money. I know some percentage will go to increased costs of living in San Francisco. However, there should be a significant chunk left over to fund my Prosper account. I’m trying to stay in the top 1,000 lenders Eric Credit Community and this should help.

The timing couldn’t be better for Moomin Valley’s “Reflections on PF Bloggers” (via Adventures in Money Making). When I started this blog, I realized that I had two very different influences. On one hand, I just finished Rich Dad, Poor Dad which is about making money. On the other hand, I grew up in household where Sunday morning was for clipping coupons.

So maybe that will be the niche that makes this blog successful. One can dream, can’t he?

[Update: I misjudged Aventures in Money Making a bit. I had figure them to be largely about the growth of money, but on further review there are a few tips on how to get the most of your income.]
