Check Out Our Guest Post Over at 1500Days.com!

03.11.17 By: Laura aka Mrs. Nickels

Truth:  I frequently get requests from other bloggers to guest post on my blog.

Another Truth:  I’ve never allowed anyone to guest post on my blog, and I almost never agree to guest post on someone else’s.

But there are a few rare exceptions to those rules.  If you want to post on my blog (or vice versa), I must know more about you than just your Twitter handle, and you must be super-cool-awesome.  (Bonus points if I’ve met you in real life.)

The married duo that blogs over at 1500Days.com easily passed those tests, and while we met because of a blogger conference, the friendship transcended the online space, and we count our time spent with them (and their kids!) among some of our life highlights.

Their blog is so entertaining that laughter will often leave my brain space and actually come out of my mouth.  They bring the full-on ugly laugh out of me.  Not only are they funny, but also super-smart, especially when it comes to money and toy dinosaurs (that last part will make sense if you start reading their blog).  They’ve also reached their million-dollar investment goal, so to say they’re inspiring is an understatement.

So when Mr.1500 asks you to write a guest post, you say “heck yeah!” and start writing.   He specifically asked me to talk about the launch of our other website, Laundromats101.com. (A resource website for people looking into ownership of self-service laundries or existing owners.)

If you want to check it out, the link is here:  My Guest Post on 1500Days.com

(One Last Truth:  My guest post was over a month ago, and I’m just now getting around to mentioning it.  So shoot me.)

Meanwhile, we’ve been working on some new posts!  Here’s what we’ve got in the works…

  • We have another online business on the horizon, that we’re pretty excited about…
  • We’ll divulge some details on how our first online business at Laundromats101.com is doing; the income, how we built it, growth strategies…
  • We finished a DIY major bathroom remodel; there will be before/after pics, construction details, you know the deal around here…

So stay tuned!

ABOUT ME




Hey there. My husband and I are on a mad-dash...to financial independence. And we're on track to do that...but things weren't always rainbows and unicorns.

Our family went from $40k in consumer debt to $100k in savings in just over 2 years. It took MAJOR lifestyle changes, but we don't regret a thing.

Around here we talk about DIY projects, money-saving tips, paying off debt, investing and of course our journey to financial independence!
