Great post!
Since I started my blog, it has totally changed my behaviour.
There’s nothing like putting your own mistakes in black and white AND getting feedback from other people to keep you humble.

I totally agree that blogging keeps you accountable. I paid off my credit card debt and since then, I always pay the balance in full each month. If I didn’t blog about it, I probably would be tempted to carry a balance sometimes.

Absolutely right on! I just started blogging 8 days ago and am finding the same thing. More than anything else, it’s making me think about money and my spending habits EVERY DAY. I already expect I’ve saved $50-100 on money not spent, being more frugal on groceries, cooking at home, and buying at thrift stores.

Great article!

Blogging has earned me about $800 in two weeks! It’s all accountability. We decided to stop spending money for 2 weeks, and although the theme of my blog is more about Africa than frugal living, I decided to blog about it. In the first week of not spending any money, we saved close to $600. We’re on Day 12 today and I’m sure we have saved at least $200 this week.

Enjoy! -Katy

In addition to the benefit that you’ve received from blogging – you and others who are blogging on the same topic are helping people like me who want to do the same thing. Writing helps you to analyze and focus. Reading all of the analysis done by the bloggers helps me to realize that I’m not alone and that others have great ideas to help me. This year I sold my house, paid off $40K in credit card debt and now have only a car payment and small student loan payment.

Reading the frugality blogs has been a huge source of support as I continue to work toward being debt free.
