When I got to this one, I thought, "Dang! She makes a lot of money! She must work in tech or banking or something. I'll never earn that in publishing." And I looked around more and see that you work in publishing! I must be in the wrong division of my company. Are you in Finance? Sales?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14245531.post-47412592073677818542013-04-22T00:25:56.246-04:002013-04-22T00:25:56.246-04:00Good for you -- now why not share that good fortun...Good for you -- now why not share that good fortune, and boost your charity contributions to 10% of your income?

You're fairly close to 10% of net; something I like to encourage. Also something I promote as best I can at www.p101.ca I'd be interested in your thoughts on the website.

It is a rare treat in financial blogging community. <br />Last year was a great year as well, particularly from blogging, but at work as well.<br /><br />I admire your frugality - two weeks in europe only for $8K!<br /><br />I actually did some calculation how would extra penny affect your retirement - saving additional $ 1 K year on small things (coffee, etc..) and investing it will not buy me an extra year in any scenario over 30 year period.<br /><br />I think we need to take an opportunity and enjoy the life and what money can buy.<br /><br />Financial Independencehttp://www.niterainbow.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14245531.post-50291172486917907602013-02-19T17:36:17.977-05:002013-02-19T17:36:17.977-05:00what stocks/dividend funds do you hold? i want to...what stocks/dividend funds do you hold? i want to add more dividend funds to my portfolio for the same reason...KShttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17870795143539248346noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14245531.post-51896553452419420202013-02-19T16:00:23.627-05:002013-02-19T16:00:23.627-05:00Congrats on a great year!
