Q&A: My Current Financial State

How to Spend a Tax Refund

This post is from staff writer Sarah Gilbert. For the past two years doing taxes has not been bearable: it’s been terrific!

How and Why I Sold Get Rich Slowly

When I started Get Rich Slowly — on 15 April 2006 — it made very little money. It earned a few pennies per day. Slowly, the income grew.

Automating Savings on an Irregular Income

This post is from staff writer April Dykman. One of the tenets of personal finance is to pay yourself first.

Ask the Readers: Basic Financial Frameworks?

One common request from new GRS readers is some sort of central location where they can find a list of introductory articles to guide their progress. This is a great idea, and I’m working on it. Some of the GRS elves are working on a “Guide to Money” that will provide some of this info, [...] Fri, 27 Jan 2012 11:00:49 +0000

Spare Change: Submit Your Story Edition

Like a hibernating bear, I feel like I’m waking from a long winter’s nap. For the past few months, I’ve been dormant, not just at Get Rich Slowly but at my other sites as well.

The Calculus of Convenience

For several years now, I’ve lived in a sort of financial sweet spot. After paying off my debt, I realized that Kris and I had everything we really wanted or needed, so we never had to buy much for the house (except when something broke). But now that I’m on my own, I’m finding all [...] Tue, 24 Jan 2012 11:00:04 +0000

How to Negotiate Your Salary

This post is from staff writer April Dykman. One of my goals for GRS in 2012 is to write more about earning money.
