If my writings have helped you, the best thing you can do is to pay it forward by walking the talk or spreading the word. If you really want to do something directly, writing a review of the blog here would be much appreciated. Also, you can vote for me in the 2009 Plutus Awards.
I just saw a comment on another site that ERExtreme is really a minimalist blog claiming to be a personal finance blog. This is probably true. I have not been writing much about personal finance, since for me it is mostly a solved problem. Live in a consumer culture where salaries are high, but defy the norm, don’t spend very much, and get wealthy in short order. Naturally this means that consumer-career options such as 529, 401k, credit cards, snowballs and flakes, become less relevant as these are all designed with endless workweeks in mind. Thus in this blog I talk about how to get off the treadmill and what to do once you’re off, that is, if you are interested; when it comes down to it, many people prefer the comfortable and predictable misery of their day jobs (I know some of you claim that you love your jobs -good for you :- ) ).

This month’s stuff budget
- Incoming: 20+ pounds
- Outgoing: 6 pounds
All books. The outgoing books comprise one sale on amazon and 5 paperbackswap outgoings. The incoming is mostly due to a box of cookbooks I got on freecycle. Consequently, this month I increased my footprint. Buh!
