Financial Bloggers Conference – Join Us!
In order to produce the podcast and keep content up free for you, I work with partners so this post may contain affiliate links. Please read my full disclosure for more info.
You may have noticed my badge on the right side about a Financial Bloggers conference. I signed up recently and I'm already excited about it. One of the things I enjoy is meeting up with some of my favorite bloggers and getting to know them and ask them about their sites. I've been to a couple of conferences and I've had some good times.
Now I'll meet some more people this fall from the personal finance niche. If you're a personal finance blogger, please consider coming. It's a fantastic way to meet some new people and build your blog. I hope to see you this fall!
I want to give a special shout to Phil from PT Money for getting this conference set up. It's a ton of work, but he's really focused to make this a huge success!

Debt Free for Life – Chapter Reviews
This week I reviewed a chapter from David Bach's new book, Debt Free for Life. Other personal finance bloggers have done the same and I think it's made for some interesting reading material.
- David Bach’s DOLP Method to Pay Down Debt (via @Bucksome Boomer)
- Debt Settlement: Solution or Scam? (via @Bible Money Matters)
- Mortgage Debt Review (via @Budgeting in the Fun Stuff)
- Debt Reduction is Like a Diet (via @ Barbra Friedberg)
If you're thinking of buying his book, check out the chapter reviews that interest you to see if the book is right for you.

Looking forward to meeting you at the conference!
And thanks for the mention.
I’m looking forward to meeting so many online friends in real life at the conference. Thanks for mentioning my book review and giveaway!
Sounds both fun and highly informative. I would eagerly go, except for lack of both money and time (October 1 and 2 I will undoubtedly working on some project or another for my graduate research). Thank you for mentioning this, though, and have a wonderful time there!
I’ll be at the conference too, see you there!
I don’t think I’ll make it… Maybe if my blog starts making me a little more income, I’ll be able to attend these sorts of ventures. I can see definite value in attendance.
