It’s hard for me to believe it, but Fiscal Musings went live exactly one year ago today. Back then I wanted a place where I could share things that I’ve learned about personal finances and investing. I also knew that there was so much more to learn, and I figured that I could increase my own knowledge through this site. I actually never thought that this site would be where it is today, but it’s been a great ride so far, and I’m looking forward to another year.

A Brief History of the Site

I started this blog as a free site with Blogger. The site design was fairly simplistic since I had never had a website before. After a while I decided that the site deserved it’s own domain name, even though I still had it hosted for free with Blogger. I continued to publish articles on a fairly regular basis, but I was never quite content with the site’s overall layout. I didn’t have the flexibility that I had seen on so many other sites that used Wordpress. So a little while ago I finally took the plunge and purchased my own web-hosting from Bluehost.com and began using the Wordpress platform. This brings us to the current layout that you now see. Through all these changes though, the content has been consistent and will continue to be so.

Some of the Favorite Posts

1. An Interesting Perspective: This is an article that shares a perspective I heard from an older gentleman at work. Too often we get caught up with our own thoughts, and it’s great to see things from another’s point of view.

2. Answering a Reader’s Question: As the title says, a reader emailed me a question about what investments to pick in an IRA. This is my response. Also, if you’ve got a question or would just like my take on a subject feel free to contact me.

3. Developing a Wealthy Mindset: A lot of what we talk about doesn’t really matter too much if we don’t ever change our mindset towards our finances.

Looking Ahead

I’m looking forward to another year here at Fiscal Musings. As many of you know, I’m going back to school in the fall to get my MBA, so I’ll be able to share many of the experiences I’ll have and much of what I’ll be learning. I enjoy writing for this blog, and I hope you enjoy reading it just as much. As always, let me know of any suggestions you may have as well as any questions.
