I bought this purse in all black and I really do love it. I plan on getting a few other colors in this style. The size of this purse is perfect, love the design of the hardware and the straps are beautiful as well. You will not be disappointed with this one.
Thursday May 1 2014
This clutch is really a great item to have in your everyday wardrobe. It is the perfect size to fit your things and to use as a shoulder bag during the day or a clutch at night or vice versa! I get so many compliments on my clutch I had to buy it in 3 different colors :)
Thursday April 3 2014
I bought this in white block to match with sandals of same color. Look great together. this clutch is so versatile. The workmanship even on the chain is great. no cheap clasp on this at all. What a difference it makes to get good quality items! I like the size of this very much. At 5'4" too many purses are way too big. I've been eyeing the red color for a full year and might end up buying that one later this year.

Chardon High School Community:
Our Hearts, Thoughts and Prayers Are with You
WASHINGTON—American Federation of Teachers President Randi Weingarten released the following statement on the tragic shootings and deaths at Chardon High School in Ohio:
"These deaths are tragic and senseless. The victims are beloved sons and brothers, daughters and sisters, students, friends and classmates, and their loss leaves us with a sad and heavy heart. Our thoughts and prayers are with the entire Chardon High School community.
"No child, educator or school employee should ever fear for his or her safety while in the classroom. We know that a safe and nurturing school environment is critical to helping children learn and grow. And it takes all of us—parents, educators, support staff, students, administrators, and town and city officials—to create safe and vibrant public schools for our children.
"We'll never be able to prevent every senseless act of violence. But we can put in place strong schoolwide and districtwide systems to define, teach and support positive student behavior. We can increase the number of school social workers, psychologists and counselors in our schools. And we can build an effective, proactive communications system between community service agencies and school staff to ensure that students receive the attention and support they need to be productive members of the school community."

text: In a highly competitive environment, retailers are constantly forced to respond, adapt and innovate. In the past, they were focused on building awareness in traditional media and in-store, with the goal of moving inventory and increasing baskets when customers walked into stores. Today, these same organizations are working to build direct relationships with consumers through loyalty and engagement programs. However, the consumption of traditional media, such as newspaper circulation and catalogs, has experienced a sharp decline. At the same time, there has been a surge in the use of digital platforms for research, purchase, trial and interaction. As a result, brands have not fully capitalized on the ability to connect with customers and generate sales. Recognizing the missed opportunities, today's top retailers and Merkle are building solutions that accelerate this transformation from product to customer-centric marketing through new media and customer experiences that are enabled through advanced technology, data and analytics.

The recent LA earthquake rattled several areas around Los Angeles and the seismic event caused celebrities to tweet about the incident. The U.S. Geological Survey (USGS), the official seismic report service in the U.S., confirmed that the 3.3 magnitude earthquake was recorded in Cudahy, a city located in southeastern Los Angeles County, about two kilometers from the towns South Gate, Maywood and Bell, who also felt the quake.
After the minor quake, aftershocks were felt, but all of substantially lower magnitude. A significant portion of the population of La. particularly felt the phenomenon, according to yesterday's report from WLS-TV.
Although the earthquake gave many LA residents a brief scare, no reports of significant damage were registered. According to early accounts, the shaking lasted a few seconds and activated alarms in some homes. "I was getting ready in my bathroom when I felt the tremor," said Yvonne Villanueva, a resident of Los Angeles.
California has long feared the arrival of the "Big One," a devastating earthquake causing major damage in the region. This fear is because Calif. is located in the Ring of Fire, a zone of high seismic activity around the Pacific Ocean and on which the earthquake and tsunami that struck Japan in March 2011 was located. About 90% of the world's earthquakes and 81% of the world's largest earthquakes occur along the Ring of Fire.

Anne E. Rung Senior Director of AdministrationCommerce Department
The work: Helping Commerce eliminate waste and inefficiency through its Cost Reduction Project.
The impact: Her work has resulted in significant cost savings while promoting participation goals for small and disadvantaged businesses and improving the acquisition workforce's productivity.
The nuts and bolts: Rung's leadership of the Cost Reduction Project has led to reduced wireless costs, better printing management and strategic sourcing for seven principal commodity purchases, including computers. She also created an agencywide network of strategic sourcing experts from each of Commerce's major bureaus. Her efforts have yielded more than $4 million in savings and are expected to save $18 million in the next 12 months.

Village Voice Staff May Strike — PARTY TONIGHT!!!!!
This just in from a Village Voice staffer. Their contract ends on Thursday. Negotiations aren't looking good. So, in classic Voice fashion, they are throwing a big party to raise some money for a "strike fund" if it comes to that by Friday.
Details from the Voice staff:
Village Voice Union Benefit
Wednesday, June 29 at 8:00pm - June 30 at 1:00am
Public Assembly
North 6th Street
Brooklyn, NY (L Train to Bedford)
Facebook invite here.
PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE come tonight if you can. The party has a $10 suggested donation, and if you can't come, you can make a donation here (http://bit.ly/juogki). More details are below.
We have a union at the Village Voice that's been around since the '70s. Our three-year contract is up at the end of the month, June 30. After decimating the staff, management is trying to slash our healthcare benefits and retirement benefits. We're really hoping that it doesn't come to a strike, but there's a distinct possibility.
To honor all the terrific writers and editors and thinkers who came before us and made the Voice what it was and is, we're pulling together an eleventh hour benefit. Please come celebrate the people behind the paper, and help us raise a little bit of cash in the event we have to go out on strike.
Invite friends! Pass this along.
Alan Watts (Voice freelancer Jeremy Krinsley's psych-darkwave band)

Chengdu, in southwest China's Sichuan province, adjoins Tibet to the west. It is the most popular gateway to Tibet. Although there are flights to Tibet from other cities in China, the most frequent and reliable flight service to Lhasa, capital of Tibet, is from Chengdu.
Chengdu is a popular tourist city in China. Most travelers come to Chengdu for the giant panda and the city's old culture. A 5-day trip is enough if you only want to see the pandas, the Giant Buddha in Leshan, and temples in the city. This is the most popular route that most travelers choose. See our 5-Day Chengdu Panda Trip
The areas to the west of Chengdu offer breathtaking natural scenery. Jiuzhaigou National Park and Huanglong National Park are well-known for their clean lakes, waterfalls, colorful ponds, snow-mountains, and gorges. The Chengdu to Jiuzhaigou travel routeis one of China's best scenic itineraries. Another off-the-beaten path to cover the stunning scenery in the region is from Chengdu to Daocheng and Yading. This is a popular photography travel route.
Travelers comes to Chengdu firstly for the giant pandas and the Buddhist temples on Mt. Emei.
The First Day: Arrive in Chengdu. Have a cup of tea at a riverside tea house; and enjoy local Sichuan opera while having your tea.
The Second Day: Visit the giant panda center and get close to the delightful pandas, then walk along Chengdu's Kuanzhai ('Wide-Narrow') Lane, a old street with lively local life.
The Third Day: Visit the Giant Buddha in Leshan.
The Fourth Day: Visit Mt. Emei. Take in its Buddhist culture and enjoy the beautiful natural scenery.
See China Highlights' best selling 5-day Chengdu tour, or let's help customize a tour for you.
For a first time trip you may not want go to Chengdu as there are more popular places to go, like Beijing, Shanghai, Xi'an, and Guilin. Chengdu is a good second time destination, which is not as popular and crowded as Beijing and Xi'an.
A classic China Chengdu tour is to enter by Shanghai, then fly to Chengdu, and then to Guilin and Yangshuo, exiting via Hong Kong. This is a natural route, combining some of the best natural and manmade sights in China.
Other popular options are combining Chengdu with a Tibet visit or a Yangtze cruise, as Chengdu is the most popular and bookable air gateway to Tibet, and also near Chongqing. The more popular downstream Yangtze cruises start in Chongqing. A Chengdu route with a Yangtze cruise and Tibet is quite expensive, as it combines two relatively expensive options.
See below the most popular China tours including Chengdu.
You'd better exchanges your currency in Bank of China, or the Hotel you stay in. Don't trust any peddler in the street who provides you the service, as they may give you counterfeit currency.
You can find cyber cafes all around the streets and lanes of Chengdu, especially around colleges and universities. The charge is CNY 1.5 to CNY 2 per hour. If you don't bring your laptop to China, these cyber cafes can be one of your choices to get in touch with your friends and families.

WORCESTERSHIRE County Council's gritting fleet is heading out onto the roads again later as rain and snow showers continue.
Rain through the afternoon is predicted to be heavy at times, with the possibility of sleet or snow on higher ground.
The heavy rain will continue overnight, turning to sleet or snow as road surface temperatures are expected to plunge below freezing.
Between 3-6cm of snow are possible, with up to 10cm in the north of the county.
Further outbreaks of sleet and snow are expected throughout Saturday night and into Sunday morning.
Road surface temperatures will again fall below zero overnight, with the likelihood of icy patches forming.
The county council's gritting fleet will be going out onto the roads from 6.30pm today to treat the worst areas.
The fleet will then remain on standby, with crews ready to go out again at short notice, while the weather is monitored and road inspections carried out through the night to determine whether any further treatment is required.
Jon Fraser, Worcestershire County Council's Highways Manager, said: "We're in for a spell of snow, slush and water on the roads, and whilst our teams will be treating areas as required over the weekend, we do ask drivers to remember that grit isn't a miracle solution and care is still needed when driving to minimise risks for yourselves and others on the roads."
Residents can keep up-to-date with #grittertwitter by following the County Council's Twitter account @worcscc twitter.com/worcscc.
Latest information on any disruption to public transport and services will be available on the county council's website worcestershire.gov.uk.

Leave Site Feedback for Your Chance to Win an iPod
Published on - October 18th, 2007 (by J.D. Roth)
It's day four of reader appreciation week! Today I'm giving away a 1GB silver iPod Shuffle. To enter the drawing, leave a comment on this post with some sort of constructive feedback about Get Rich Slowly.
What's your favorite article? What did you like about it? Or maybe tell me which articles you don't like and would like to see less of. Are there other topics you'd like to see covered? Should I write more about frugality? Investing? Relationships? Do you want to see fewer guest posts? More of them? Do you want me to post ten times a day? Once a week? Do you want a podcast? Financial calculators? Anything else?
Don't be afraid to point out areas in which Get Rich Slowly could improve! Positive feedback is nice, but criticism is valuable, too. And don't forget: you have until the end of the day to enter the contest for the Nintendo Wii!
This article is about Administration
I teach personal finance and accounting for a public school in Ohio. I love the book reviews. That helps me effectively use my time for information. Also, the site helps me see other peoples' points of view. The different perspective helps when dealing with students. I personally have always been disciplined with money, but not all my students have been. The ability to see how to move them to a new understanding requires an understanding of where they are. I also like the posts from readers and the connections to other blogs. It helps me summarize information nicely. Thanks.
I have been reading your site for well over 6 months now. I come back every day because I know you will always have some thing on and it will entertain and educate me. I like your humble, straight from the heart approach. Because of this, I had learnt alot from your site and like I had said before you are like a frugal mentor to me. I enjoy your articles and your style of presenting it to me. I would like to see you 'podcasting' if that is possible. Good luck and thank you for your effort.
I love this site as it is– both your articles and the comments of others have really opened my eyes! I was so financially naive just a few months ago. Nobody in our society is willing to talk money so freely as you folks do!
In general, I'd love more posts from you each day because this is one site I check frequently. The guest posts are great, even when I can't agree with them (religion in finance?!?). More guests!
Specifically, I'd like some advice about what to say to cable companies to bring my monthly bill down, even just a little bit. I know this might be a trivial request…
I found your web site while doing research for a presentation/research paper on the benefits and downside of credit. I love the way you are open to all areas of finance and I would love to see more on investing and saving. I own a couple of mutual funds in my Roth and a few penny stocks and that is the extent of my investment history. I read rich dad poor dad and didn't quite agree with his idea that a home is a liability and would love some research on this area. Also, I do not own a iPod so podcasts would not be too beneficial to me, but KEEP UP THE GREAT WORK. I have to say I forward at least on article a day to my friends and family.
I would also like to see more about real estate investments, like real estate investment trusts and tax lien investing
Thanks for the great Blog.
I read several frugality blogs, and I like your take, especially on environemtnal issues and simple, frugal green living. Plus, you have great links to stuff I want/need to know about – green living, gardening, making good purchases.
Keep up the great work!
I'm very happy with GRS. It gives me proper perspective on financial issues, when the Joneses around me make me think I should keep up with them. I also love the variety of ways to increase cash flow, without resorting to scams or highly risky endeavors. This is a site I can trust!
I think guest posting is a good thing, but keep it at the level it's at now. I think 3-4 posts a week is good. After all, we need time to ACT on these suggestions, not just read them.
Lastly, I think a few financial "hacks" would be good too .. short (or long) pieces of advice or hints or tips on how to be wiser and thriftier about spending, tracking, budgeting, etc.
Thanks for your work on GRS!
If I could only read one PF blog, it would be GRS, hands-down.
If I have one small criticism it's with the GRS mantra, "spend less than you earn." While I think we all understand the idea behind this, the statement itself is an oversimplification. There are times when the key to wealth is actually spending more than you earn, at least temporarily, such as by taking out student loans to finance an education, or putting money into starting a business. I also think spending less than you earn won't guarantee wealth. Obviously saving $10/month isn't going to let anyone retire early, though it's a nice start.
Again, the fact that this is my harshest criticism shows how much I like this blog.
I am very pleased with your blog.
I love the conversational tone of your entries. Your writing is accessable and to the point.
If you are interested in our favorite posts I would have to say it is "How to Eat at a Swanky Restautant Without Blowing Your Monthly Food Budget" My wife and I love eating out but we dont want to break the bank. This is a great guide.
I do have one favor to ask. I would like to see more investing tips.
Best part of the site: You. Keep sharing from your heart.
Worst part of the site: You don't link to me enough.
Get Rich Slowly is one of the first blogs that I ever read on a daily basis, and the reason is because your writing is so good J.D. You write about your personal experiences with money and even when you stumble you are not afraid to let us know, which makes you human to the rest of us who are out here trying to do the same thing you are doing.
My favorite topic is about frugality, so I'd vote for more topics on that in a heartbeat, but I have learned several things about topics like retirement accounts that I wouldn't have learned without reading your site. I think you have a good balance going on. I do enjoy the guest posts although I have to say I like your writing better. Ten times a day would be great, but I don't think it would leave you much time for anything else.
One of my favorite things about your site is when you alert us to an article on another blog that you've found interesting. I usually always read those.
I wish the personal finance forum were more active because I do enjoy reading it even though I know could do my part to make that happen.
Just my two cents worth,
Quick review.
I like the post that specifically relate to
- living simply
- tips on frugality
- tips on safe, cheap, and forget-about-it investing
I'd like more specific tips — like exactly which Index Funds are among the safest, cheapest, and (of course) with the best return.
Thanks, Ian
You have a great trove of information in your archive of posts. I wanted to suggest implementing a way for people to more easily approach the archives. Maybe there could be some sort of index, and a way for individual readers to mark entries as read/unread/ignore/read in the future …. etc etc.
Something like that would be very useful for me, at least. I could set up a sort of reading list of posts I intend to read later.
I'm always impressed with how you respond so quickly to comments. I presume you write this blog as a full time venture?
I would LOVE a podcast! I subscribe to a couple personal finance podcasts already and am always looking for more – they are fun to listen to. In particular, I enjoy hearing other people's stories – so inviting guests to talk about their experiences would be great.
When I came across Get Rich Slowly this summer, you were in a "Money Hacks" phase and I was (honestly) put off by your overuse of the term "hacks" so I didn't read much. But over the past couple months I've visited more often and found that you have a good variety of topics. I enjoyed the guest post on making your own bacon – I would never do it, but was fascinated that someone had! So far my favorite post was the one about tipping – that one generated really interesting responses.
JD, I think this site is incredible. I maintain two blogs (one for work, one for home) and I am amazed at the amount of work you put in on a daily basis. Here's my feedback. Things that are great-
*You respond to specific requests! When I sent you an email asking about something I thought I saw on GRS but couldn't find, you responded within an hour with exactly what I was looking for.
*Regular updates across a breadth of topics.
*Easy to understand, WELL WRITTEN articles.
*A format that easily allows for dialog – you've really created a community of folks with similar interests but lots of perspectives.
Areas for improvement –
*I agree that more hands on tools would be great.
*I think that sometimes an assumption is made that readers might be of a particular socio-economic status. (an example is the recent comment that the interest off a million in the bank might not be enough on which to live comfortably) I wonder if there might be an opportunity for information, stories, and advice about a broader swath of financial situations.
*I like to hear more about what people do with their money for other people. Charitable giving, foundations etc…
The highest praise however is this, I give the GRS website out to friend more often than any other blog I read!
Thank You!
The phrase "Get Rich Slowly" makes me chuckle; well picked.
Downloadable spreadsheets for things like loan calculators, investments, budgeting, and other math-intensive-but-extremely-helpful things would be great
I also like the tips that straddle the line between money and lifehacks.
I think periodically you should pick some of the best posts from the success stories subforum. Not only do people find these stories interesting, but doing so will a) promote the forum more and b) make for some easy posts when you don't feel like writing.
I was shown this blog by a friend, and have been reading daily ever since (also went through the archives!) I've particularly enjoyed the book reviews, it's gotten me to borrow a few from the local library to learn more! I don't know that I'd really use a podcast much, but I'd be willing to try it out if you start, I'm happy with the written posts. I agree with other commenters that that the guest posts add a nice variety and depth (not to mention encouraging me to check out their sites as well sometimes) My least favourite posts are those that are quite short, I prefer reading the more lengthy/in-depth posts, even if they're not as frequent. The exception to this is the round-ups that send me to other sites.
Keep up the good work! Referencing this site has helped me convince some friends and family that frugal isn't cheap!
I realize there is wisdom in getting rich slowly, being patient with money. Either way, paying debt off (always takes longer than we think) and gaining money (hardly ever get rich quick). This sight is realistic, although a little difficult to navigate for me, unfamiliar with blogs and feeds. Good advice and articles.
I'm seeing alot of comments for calculators. This is one of the areas I am supposed to be helping JD with. What calculators would you like?
What about the forums? How is that?
What do you want in a podcast? We are *slowly* gearing up for our first podcast, but I'd love to know what you all want. We're hoping to have a cast where you can listen live, CALL IN, and then download to your pod later. It's going slowly because it seems that JD's life got busy about the same time I got to go on a honeymoon!
Though I am living in Malaysia, I find the articles featured so far, relevant to the local economic environment. What I would recommend is more updated content from other parts of the world such as Asia / Europe, so that the knowledge can be shared equally.
Other than that, keep up the excellent work !
I would really love to see more real person investing tips. We're looking for ways we can grow our money, but we're not rich by any stretch. We're also young, both in our mid 20s. However, almost all financial info that I find seems to be geared at rich, old, white golfers. I loved the 31 investment articles thing y'all did, more stuff like that would be very cool.
I also love it when you link to calculators! A side bar link to a post with all of the cool financial calculators you guys find would be awesome, that way I could find them without searching the site (which is rough when my swiss cheese memory can't remember exactly what the calculator was called).
I've been an RSS subscriber to your site for over six months now and it's been a refreshingly interesting read every day. I run a technology blog and most of my internet reading is related to tech, but I save some of my time for financial reading and yours is one of the best – much better than the "financial-porn" such as money magazine and the others. My work-life is in the retirement administration industry and even though I consider myself to be well-read on financial topics, I still learn from Get Rich Slowly.
As others have mentioned, the title "get rich slowly" is quite excellent – definitely sends a message. Keep up the good work and the great original content.
I'd love to win that iPod too – thanks for the opportunity!
This has always been one of my favorite blogs. I think you should offer my user-orientated content. Perhaps some debt & savings calculators, or goal calcs would also be pretty fun. Or maybe (if you know where to find one) an interactive calculator thats determines what you REALLY make at your job (after factoring time spent driving, gas, et..) That would really be helpful.
I just discovered this blog a week or two ago and subscribed to the RSS feed almost immediately. You talk about many topics that are quite relevant to my life at the moment – frugality, saving and financial goals, food, using what you have, etc. I wouldn't mind more guest bloggers because they offer valuable insights and different perspectives, especially ones who might routinely blog about slightly different topics [who are more into creative reuse/green living, for example]. I would also love to see a couple posts about the 'friends/socializing' aspect. Short of ditching my old friends for new ones, is there any 'halfway' ground, or areas of 'compromise' that you've found where you can still spend time with 'spendier' friends without having to spend tons of money?
OK–what I like most about your blog is how well you engage the readers, and how much feedback you get. The comments are as interesting as the posts themselves.
Hi JD
I am a recent arrival in the blogosphere and while I was initially excited about the vast amounts of information that was suddenly available to me, I was disappointed in the quality of the information provided. That is, until I stumbled across Get Rich Slowly!
Your posts are concise, informative and touch on issues that are important to anyone who is concerned about their personal finances. I also like that fact that you post regularly. In fact, since starting to read your blog I have unsubscribed from a few other PF blogs that:
1) Dont post regularly and
2) Do not have the same content quality as yours.
I for one, feel that you should basically do more of the same. Unless the "relationships" topic was a tongue-in-cheek remark, I suggest that you stick to what has made your site so successful in the first place.
I would enjoy more posts related to general principles of equity investing for example. Book reviews are also always welcome.
In closing, the best compliment I could probably give you is to say that if I ever had to start a PF blog, I would be proud of it if it turned out to be anything as well-thought out as yours!
I would love to see some posts about how finances change during/after significant life events (marriage, birth of a child, death of a spouse), etc. Love your blog, though!
What I love is that you're just like a big human flashlight … what I mean by that is often times the world of finance/success is "unlit" and therefore it's easy to stumble around in this world, but I know I can come here each day and you will have clearly illuminated some small piece w/ your awesome prose so that we can all better navigate this world. This effect becomes addicting, J.D. So it's no surprise that what I want is more and more and more … so I guess I want GRS to become a freakin' assembly line for the realities of money and success … I want to see you mass-produce reality in the same way corporations mass produce consumer goods. So I guess I'd just like to see you do this stuff full-time and assemble a team to help you if need be. I mean, we all know it's your destiny to leave the box factory and do this stuff for a living, so let's just get on w/ it!
My favorite post was "Banker to the poor: Micro-Lending and the battle against World Poverty". I first learned about micro-lending in college, and I believe it is one of the most powerful tools for helping the least fortunate people in developing countries. Muhammed Yanus has created opportunities for many people, and I encourage people to support the Grameen Foundation in any way possible.
I have been a long time reader of the site, I use Google reader for my RSS feeds. I loved the articles where you talked about making money out of your hobbies and how you have a small business going for your self, I would like to see more of those articles about making and creating a side income.
I love Get Rich Slowly. I love the posts by you and our guests. I find so many of them to be useful in my own life. I think what I like most about his site is that the topics are so practical and honest.
Another aspect I love are all of the comments from your mtriad readers. It is comforting to see that other people think about the same things I do.
I'd like to see more about rasing children on one income. I wouldn't care either way about podcasts because I probably wouldn't have the desire to listen- I like to read!
I've subscribed to your feed for a while now, and it has been enjoyable to watch this blog grow. My favorite article would have to be "Renting vs. Buying: The Realities of Home-Ownership". It got a lot of reference throughout the rest of the web, and the majority of it seemed to contradict the opinions expressed in your article. Whether or not your conclusions applied to everyone or were accurately presented, I'm glad that it opened up discussion on something people automatically assumed: That buying was hands-down better than renting. I am currently living at home and have been looking to move out on my own for the first time, so this article was really appropriate for me.
I also enjoyed "The Perfect is the Enemy of the Good" because I, by nature, am totally OCD when it came to large decisions. I'm trying to apply this mantra to my future decisions.
I don't think you should muddy up your blog with podcasts and other bells and whistles. And the current flow of articles is just fine, my feeds are already overflowing thanks to Gizmodo and others of the like.
I have made an email folder titled "Frugal". Most of my saved articles are from GRS. These were my favorites:
I have 4 articles about Roth IRA's, I loved the ones about once a month cooking,how to feed a family on $15 a week, the quest post from your wife about chicken stock,the article about homemade grape juice and living on $12,000 a year. My husband and I both benefited from the article about procrastination and fuel economy. Although, I'm still procrastinating about using your article about putting stuff on ebay. I've saved the best for last. My very favorite part of GRS are the old videos from the 40′s about thrifty habits,using time wisely,etc. We can learn so much from the wisdom of the past. Thank you, my habit and our family finances are improving slowly.
I really like reading the site. I think the volume of posts is just about perfect too. Some of my favorite posts are the practical advice. How we can deal with money wisely on a day to day basis. Thanks for the blog!!
I really enjoy your site and have been reading pretty regularly since May. I haven't ventured in to the forums very much, but plan on doing so. I would like to see more about investing. The series on the Roth IRA was my favorite and most helpful for me thus far.
Thanks for all of your work.
I read Get Rich Slowly via RSS feed at Livejournal. I like the down to earth approach you take and many of qualities you evince are qualities that I admire. Yesterday I read your article about NOT going to college. I found this especially timely, because I have a teenage son who is a senior in highschool. He's more than usual-teenaged-surly and it can be difficult to talk to him. I'm a bit worried about what he will do after high school. I've told him I can get behind almost any plan, but that he must do SOMETHING.
As I said, he doesn't want to hear me too much, but I thought your article might be of great benefit to him. So I wrote a note and emailed him the link. Hopefully he will be better able to listen to wisdom from you than from me.
I know from time to time you write about issues that young people face. If I could make any change to your already excellent blog, I would have you write more article for young people – and maybe help Zach decide what he's doing.
Your blogs back in June of this year about IRA/Roth IRA accounts was the single, most helpful site I've come across on the web. And that's how I found Get Rich Slowly.
Being a "newbie" to investing, your blogs about Roth IRAs were so easy to understand and offered the most helpful advice when it came to selecting a company to open up a ROTH IRA account with. I chose T.Rowe Price in the end!
I would love to see more blogs about investing money. While I am still new to the investing market, I want to learn more about stocks, trading, etc. If you could have periodical updates about the best stocks to choose, the best mutual funds to-date, etc., that would be tremendously helpful.
Because this site appears to be made for and by those of us who are your everyday working class Americans, I'm sure I wouldn't be alone in saying that I trust the advice I receive from this site. It's honest, helpful, and practical.
Thanks for showing up in my inbox everyday and thanks for putting we well on my way to retiring easily and comfortably!
I don't really remember how I stumbled upon GRS, but I read some articles, was impressed and immediately subscribed to RSS feeds. I'm fairly young (25) and am in grad school (poor) but have been financially aware for some time now. The GRS articles have reinforced what I've read especially with regard to investing for the long-run (hence, the get rich SLOWLY). I also enjoy the helpful, specific hints for everyday use as well as articles in categories everyone may need (mortgages, paying off debt etc…).
I'd like to see something on how interest is calculated on loans or accounts so a reader can do their own analysis on their situation – for example, should I pay off my car early or plunk the extra money into my savings account. With a simple spreadsheet and some knowledge, they can make the best financial decision. Also, I'm just curious about how stuff is calculated.
Before finding this site, I'd helped a few friends get their stuff in order. Maybe a post like this exists, but some positive encouragement might be in order. I know the first month of Quicken was hard for them, but with my help and a little time and encouragement, they got themselves all straightened out and know exactly where they stand. I also think responsible use of credit cards should be discussed. I spend nearly all my money on my card, getting cash back, free money!
Wow, it seems like I just have complaints, but nothing could be further from the truth. I really like reading your posts because it re-emphasizes what I'm doing right now, teaches me how to be smart with my money, and just makes me think about new things.
Bravo and congrats on 18 months!
My favorite posts are about doing things on a budget. Especially, eating on a budget. I'm always looking for cheap, healthy meals I can make for my family. I loved that post Kris did about rotisserie chicken, for instance. I would like to see more tips on cheap meals!
I love the variety of all the different topics. From Finances to eBay tips. From coupons to car safety. One of my favorite topics was the Free Crash Test Videos from Consumer's report.
My wife and I are starting to look around for another van and this video scared the bajeeba's out of me. I usually look mostly at price but, that topic made me think about safety and the protection of my family first. Thanks.
JD – your site has definitely allowed me to hit the brakes on my highway to financial distruction. The ask the readers post you did for my question about expenses exceeding income has given me some great ideas to improve my situation. One thing that I was hoping you might be able to post about is how to make money from creating a blog like this. The idea has been in the back of my mind for some time now, but the whole wordpress set up is just really confusing. Maybe you can point us in the direction of setting up our own blog and some general descriptions on the type of return you have generated from your blog since it's beginning? That would be an awesome post!
I have been reading via RSS for about 6 months and it has been a real blessing. I have started to recruit friends from work to read here as well, as most of them are young college aged students who are struggling to figure out the ways to avoid debt and still live comfortably.
Big Chris
I enjoy reading most of the posts on this blog. I have been a subscriber for the past 10 months-or-so. I find confirmation here about many of the things that we already do as a family. We are a one income family with four children, paying down a modest mortgage, with no credit card debt, a modest car payment, no cable TV, no Cell Phone, blah, blah, blah…so many of the articles regarding the reduction of these sort of expenses are not relavant to our situation. From time to time though, there have been some additional good ideas that we have incorporated into our life.
I do really like to read about sucess stories that people have…I suppose that comes from the guest posts. I think the number of posts is plenty. Being as consistant as you are is not easy. Thanks for your good work.
JD, I like how you don't just post and disappear. You actually rspond to comments and try to keep the conversation flowing. I think my favorite post is th eone you did a while back on eating healthy w/o it breaking the bank.
I have really been enjoying the guest posts lately, I think it's great to show various view points about money. Also if there were some sort of calculators or tools that we could download, things that you have found useful yourself, that would be really neat!
Honestly, there isn't much that you could do more because the site is great already.
I've been a daily reader for quite some time now, which should tell you that your blog is good enough to keep bringing me back! I'm definitely more interested in investment and savings advice than debt reduction, but I suspect that your blog will begin to skew more that direction as your own debt is eliminated and your focus changes.
I really enjoy posts about daily frugality, but I would encourage you to be sure to include options for those of us with different lifestyles than yourself. People with 12+ hour workdays who live in one-bedroom apartments with no outdoor space can't focus on gardening, much as they might like to, and can often barely manage to get takeout on the table, much less a home-cooked meal. I'd encourage you to think outside your own life a bit more, whether that's by allowing guest posts to cover things you don't have personal experience with, or just putting yourself in the shoes of someone with a totally different life path than your own.
Love the site, though, and I'll keep reading! I feel like the only person in this country who's never owned an iPod, so here's hoping….
I found GRS through a link from another blog (can't remember which one, now) to a post about saving money through gardening, I think. I started reading because of those common-sense, practical ways to save money and live frugally, but over time I've come to enjoy the wide variety of posts here. As someone who really doesn't know all that much about finance in general, it's been really useful to read your posts on so many different aspects of finance, such as investing, retirement savings, or debt reduction.
I think the frequency of posting is perfect — I like to have something new (or several things) to read almost every day. My favorite types of posts — ones I'd like to see more of — are those practical, every-day living tips, and also on how living frugally ties into environmentalism. You've done a few environmental posts that I've really enjoyed, so I'd love to read more about that. I also really like reading people's personal stories about financial successes or mistakes, whether yours or guest posters'.
One suggestion — maybe once in a while you could do a "finance for dummies" type of post — explaining things in a really basic way for those of your readers (like me) who are less savvy in the ways of finance. You write so well, so clearly and accessibly, that I think you'd be great at writing the occasional "introduction to [basic concept]" post.
Really, though, even if you didn't change a thing I'd still read every day. Thanks for the work you do on this blog!
First off, what a great way to attract traffic! Props for that.
I just started reading Get Rich Slowly a month and a half ago. I'm a 19 year old college student, currently halfway done with a course in personal finance. Honestly though, I haven't bothered going to that class in a while because I've been learning so much more on your website [and others I found through your site].
One improvement I would like to see is an easier to navigate archive. I really like how I Will Teach You To Be Rich not only has entries tagged into categories, but also a nice page with sample entries from each category. I'd also like to see a section of "introductory" articles that would help newbies like me get started.
I enjoy reading your blog, but was stunned when I realized a while back that you live in the same city as me!

The law curriculum at Iowa is designed to develop fundamental lawyers' skills and an appreciation of the roles of law and lawyers in society. Overall, students must complete 84 academic credits and four upper class writing units to be awarded their Juris Doctor.
Curriculum by Subject Areas [pdf]
First-Year Curriculum
In addition to the overall program objectives, the first year places an emphasis on developing analytical skills, a sense of the role of legal institutions in our society, and essential writing skills. Each course in the first-year curriculum shares these goals in addition to conveying substantive knowledge about a particular area of the law. First-year students will have two small section courses each semester. One course each semester will cover one of the traditional first year subject matters (please see subject matters listed below); this section will be composed of 40 students. The other small section course each semester is Legal Analysis, Writing and Research; this section will be composed of approximately 20 students.
Students who enter law school in the fall of 2014 will take the following courses:
Contracts (4sh)
Introduction to Law & Legal Reasoning (1sh)
Legal Analysis, Writing and Research I (2sh)
Property (4sh)
Torts (4sh)
Civil Procedure (4sh)
Constitutional Law I (3sh)
Criminal Law (3sh)
Legal Analysis, Writing and Research II (2sh)
One three hour elective (3sh)
Second- and Third-Year Curriculum
After completing a set of required first-year courses exploring fundamental legal concepts and one elective, students plan their own course of study for the next two years from a rich menu of mainstream, specialized, clinical, and perspective courses. Second- and third-year courses cover the range of specialties within the legal profession, allowing students to sample liberally and follow their professional interests in focusing on a particular career specialization, write for one of the school's four student-edited law journals, pursue joint degrees in law-related graduate programs, or simply obtain the widest possible exposure to the legal landscape.
Second- and third-year students have only a few requirements to fulfill before graduating. They must take Constitutional Law II and complete a course in Legal Ethics as well as completing the necessary writing units. In order to graduate, each student must receive four writing units over and above the writing requirements of the first year. The units can be completed through a combination of courses and co-curriculars that include a writing unit, including seminar papers, independent research papers, work on any of the College's four journals, Legal Clinic, Moot Court Board, and advanced appellate advocacy activities. Please note that two of the four writing units must be earned in courses (including clinic and seminars) or through independent research in which there is direct and ongoing faculty supervision.

International and Comparative Law
The College offers a multifaceted program for the study of international and comparative law. Supported by more than 20 members of the law faculty who maintain significant teaching and research interests in the field, the International and Comparative Law Program (ICLP) features extensive international and comparative law courses and related academic activities; a Master of Laws (LLM) degree program for both US and foreign law graduates, many foreign students and visiting foreign professors; several study-abroad programs; an innovative student/faculty journal; and several active centers for international and comparative law research.
Additional support for the program is provided by the College of Law Library, which maintains holdings of more than 165,000 volumes of international, comparative, and foreign law, and a complete United Nations document collection on microfiche. The University of Iowa's Office of International Programs also supports ICLP with extensive international programming throughout the University of Iowa.

Things to Consider
Prisoner reentry, probation and parole encompass a wide array of issues with questions of race, ethnicity, gender, and/or age of prime interest. Use these keywords/phrases in developing a successful research strategy to find books, magazines, journals and/or online sources::
prisoner deinstitutionalization
public safety
health, mental illness and substance abuse
family violence
crime victims' rights
*reentry is sometimes spelled with a hyphen as "re-entry." Try both spellings.
Prisoner Reentry
Prisoner reentry centers on an individual's return to family, community and society after incarceration.
An era of mass incarceration along with America's shift in sentencing policy have led to a reduction in both prison rehabilitation and parole programs. More prisoners are completing full sentences in prison, and being released with little or no legal or social support or supervision on the outside. As Jeremy Travis states in But They All Come Back, this reality of mass incarceration has translated into a reality of reentry (2005, p.xx). Record numbers of inmates are being released with minimal to no preparation behind bars or support services in their communities to make it on the outside.
Thus, criminal justice experts, academicians, policy makers, and practitioners have turned their focus to prisoners returning to society, or what has become known as "prisoner reentry" or the issues related to a prisoner's release from incarceration to his or her reintegration into their families, communities and society at large. A focus on reentry encourages the coordination of programs, services, and human resources--both inside and outside prison walls--in order to ensure the successful assimilation of prisoners into new lives, roles, jobs, families and communities.
Parole and Probation
Parole, according to West's Encyclopedia of American Law is defined as,
The conditional release of a person convicted of a crime prior to the expiration of that person's term of imprisonment, subject to both the supervision of the correctional authorities during the remainder of the term and a resumption of the imprisonment upon violation of the conditions imposed.
Probation, according to West's Encyclopedia of American Law is defined as,
A sentence whereby a convict is released from confinement but is still under court supervision; a testing or a trial period. Probation can be given in lieu of a prison term or can suspend a prison sentence if the convict has consistently demonstrated good behavior.
The status of a convicted person who is given some freedom on the condition that for a specified period he or she act in a manner approved by a special officer to whom the person must report.

DIFF Salutes
In Salvador, Stone provided early evidence of his pre-occupation with stories combining men in extreme situations and political critiques. It's based on the experiences of journalist Richard Boyle (James Woods in a fierce, Oscar-nominated performance), who takes off from San Francisco in a battered car with disc jockey Dr. Rock (James Belushi) and heads for civil war-torn El Salvador. From this situation Stone, working from his and Boyle's Oscar-nominated screenplay, delivers a tale of high drama, intrigue and violence with an unambiguous critique of US interventionism and Ronald Reagan's support of the Contra rebels. The film contains very strong language and very graphic violence.

"99 Poems for the 99 Percent" Contributors read from a new collection that represents "the real America." Poets include Dean Rader, Gillian Conoley, Barbara Berman, Keith Ekiss, Julie Bruck, and Hiya Swanhuyser. 7:30pm, free, Booksmith, 1644 Haight, SF. www.booksmith.com
ATA Lives! - Gallery and screening venue Artists' Television Access marks its 30th anniversary with a month of events honoring a long track record of unique, boundary-pushing, subversive programming. Tonight, the ball gets rolling with a program of works by current and past ATA staffers; tomorrow afternoon, buckle up for a 30-hour marathon curated by Other Cinema programmer and ATA co-founder Craig Baldwin, among others. The weekend closes out with a special edition of Mission Eye & Ear, a live-cinema series that facilitates collaborations between experimental filmmakers and composers. 8pm, $7-10. Artists' Television Access, 992 Valencia, SF. www.atasite.org
The Sam Chase - "The Sam Chase has a voice like a nun on the lam with a mouthful of cigarettes and curse words," according to the unconventional folk band's bio. Singer Sam Chase and his cast of five to seven backup players (on vocals, guitars, strings, horns, percussion, you name it) have been starting dance parties all over the Bay Area for the past half-decade, alternating whiskey-drinkin' party songs with rough-around-the-edges lullabies. Equal parts sweet and salty (and just as addictive as that sounds), with fellow local fave Rin Tin Tiger as an opener, this lineup is a solid choice to kick off the Mission Creek Oakland Music & Arts Festival. 8pm, free. Uptown Nightclub, 1928 Telegraph, Oakl. www.mcofest.org
The Bruce Lee Band - Mike Park has been one of the most important figures in the Bay Area music scene since founding ska band Skankin' Pickle in 1989. Since then, he's been in countless other groups, organized the Ska Against Racism tour, and started one of America's most respected DIY labels, Asian Man Records. The Bruce Lee Band is an all-star outlet for Park's musical ambitions, featuring members of several of his former bands in addition to members of MU330 and Bomb the Music Industry! The band has only been active sporadically, so its Bottom of the Hill show is a can't-miss occasion. 9pm, $12. Bottom of the Hill, 1233 17th St, SF. www.bottomofthehill.com
Haight Street Music and Merchants Street Festival - Yep, it's another street fair on Haight — but this brand-new event has a highly local focus, since it's sponsored by neighborhood merchants. Expect three stages of music, kids' activities, a skate ramp, and more. Noon-6pm, free, Haight between Masonic and Stanyan, SF; firstname.lastname@example.com
The Rentals - Despite being best known as a Weezer side project (singer Matt Sharp was the early-era bassist for the indie titans), the Rentals have a quietly devoted — and large — fan base of their own, who've been eating up sweet melodies and goofy Moog-heavy tendencies since the band re-formed in 2005. After a slew of well-received EPs, this year's Lost in Alphaville marks the band's first full-length since 1999, and it basically overflows with guest stars — among them, Black Keys' drummer Patrick Carney and Lucius' Jess Wolfe and Holly Laessig. One should expect to see a slew of diehards at this show, for good reason. With openers Ozma. 8pm, $20. Slim's, 333 11th St, SF. www.slimspresents.com
Rapture, Blister, Burn Aurora Theatre Company opens its 23rd season with Gina Gionfriddo's drama about three generations of women "struggling with feminism's foibles."
