I’m Famous! (Sort of)

I’m thrilled to post the following article link from msnbc.com, mostly because it leads with a lengthy Budgeting Babe shout-out!

By day, Nicole Mladic is a 26-year-old marketing relations professional working in Chicago. But after hours, she lets it all hang out online in her blog. On her web Web site, where she goes to spill her secrets for any random Internet passerby to read, and she shares her sins, vices, desires and aspirations freely with the entire world.

Thanks to everyone for being involved with the site! Your comments and feedback have been a blessing to me.

One note, for those of you reading Budgeting Babe for the first time, the article got two facts wrong that are a point of pride for me. She incorrectly listed my savings at $300. In fact, today my savings account totals $6,482.12. Also, $26,000 was the total cost of student loans I owed after graduation, in 2001. Today my student loans are down to just below $9,000.

That said, welcome to all the first-time visitors! Hopefully you find my site helpful and entertaining.

    Woo Hoo! You’re famous :)

    I have to say, I only started reading all these PF blogs about six weeks ago and yours is one that I have bookmarked. It’s a good mix of advice and musings and it’s interesting to read.
    Keep it up :)

    I’m with Mandy. I regularly search for PF blogs, but none really compare to yours. Way to go, Nicole! You’ll be making money off this thing before long.

    Sorry for the loser title. The original one was, “Holy Crap, I’m Famous!” but then I got all worried that it was a bad title. Sheesh. I’m starting to sweat this whole thing!

    I like “Holy Crap, I’m Famous” but how about “Holy Crap I’m Famous!” It’s always good to sound self confident.
