By glblguy
It’s been a while since I’ve solicited any feedback from you, so I thought it was about time to do it again. I created Gather Little by Little for one single purpose, to help others. I wanted to share my financial learnings with others in hopes that they could begin their join me in my journey to get my finances under control. I have not deviated from that purpose other than to hope that maybe someday I can do this as a full-time job. That would truely be a dream come true.
As always, Gather Little by Little is for you: long-term readers, new readers, and visitors from search engines looking for answers. To keep Gather Little by Little heading in the direction (the one that most benefits you most), I’d really like to hear your feedback about it.

* What do you like? The every day issues and a personal look at solutions, provided by both you and the readers.
* What are some things I can improve on? I’m actually looking for a PF female blog I like, maybe bring in a female guest writer occasionally.
* Are the articles what you want to hear? The relationship side of PF. I would like to see more in depth of the PF journey and problems/solutions along the way.
* How about Stew? I agree he has been a good addition to this blog.

Can you add Stew as a category on your site to make it easier to refer back to his posts?
Thanks!

Wow, how super that I stumbled upon your blog and this opportunity! I’ve been surfing the internet for 2 days looking for various budgeting options – both software and online budget tools. Of what I’ve read, YNAB is about the best available.
I went back to graduate school several years ago, and am just now getting back on my feet in a good job. I’ve let budgeting slide while I was back in school – it seemed like studying was a higher priority than budgeting (at least at the time it did). So now I need to grab the budget bull by the horns and get some order into my financial life.
Thanks for the opportunity on this budget package!

I am a relatively new reader and I enjoyed the ‘real’ person aspect of your blog. I find the articles thoughtful and thought provoking. Although I have never gotten in major finance trouble and think of myself as educated in personal finance. I find that I learn something for the 5 minutes I invest in reading.
What would I like different? I honeslty enjoy reading others comments on solving particular issue (even if a mundane day to day problem); as I believe that we all have different talents and perspectives.
