I’ve been blogging for almost a year now and it seems like there is a new personal finance blog every day. Some manage to stay in the game, others have faltered. If you don’t enjoy what you are writing, then blogging is not your cup of tea. I present you the Class of 2007 for Personal Finance to acknowledge all their hard work and dedication.

Looks like I was left out.

I am with the “get by” students right now but I am working my way up to the “C” student.
I don’t have a problem with being a C student ! Good to make the list!
I think you were overly generous with me, but I’ll take it. Thanks for the shout-out.
You have too much time on your hands.
I think you were overly generous with me, but I’ll take it. Maybe this is the break I need.
You have too much time on your hands.
Thanks for including me! I’m right on the cusp of moving on to the B category. Watch out!
What a fantastic list of blogs! This must have been quite a feat to compile. This will become a reference post for me and I am proud to have been included!
My blog is way too young, so you missed it!

I hope to get up there next time
I’ll just have to keep going and hope that next year I do better than a C
I’m new to PF blogging, but I’ve been putting my time in, trying to keep posting things I’m learning and things I want to learn about. Thanks for mentioning WMMM anyway

Mine is a blog within a blog, until/if I move on to its own separate blog.
I still consider it to be a pf blog, as I post regularly on pf topics, which can be easily sorted and accessed using the sidebar label for pf on my personal blog.
Here’s a link (hope it works). I’d fall into your “get by” category, not because I don’t post often but because I don’t meet the link and readership minimums for the next category.
I’m amazed that you compiled so many blogs for this list–great job!
Wow, this must have been a lot of work. Thanks for including me.

Thanks for including me on the list. Guess a “C” isn’t bad for a less-than-3-month-old blog
I also got left off.
