But I keep coming back for the clear writing and interesting topics, especially on family frugality. Looking further down the road, I enjoy learning the creative financial lessons that "click" with kids. Better that than "Van Down By The River" speeches. :-) As a soon-to-be first time Dad, I probably would have subscribed just because of the domain name.

One is yours because it is forthright, easy to read, and touches on matters that I can easily relate to. I too am a frugal Dad, having eight children and a wonderful wife. I have been in debt and am now debt free. Debt free is better. Keep up the good work! I only read three blogs regularly.

That's why i read you articles so i can find frugal ways to spend a small amount of money for treats. I like the way that when you writing you're not telling the reader what to do. You're asking them questions sometimes. Good luck on everything you do. And I wish you luck on you're other websites you are writing on. I come on frugal dad.com because I want to live frugal.

I like your down to earth style and realistic money tips. Visiting your blog and other like yours help me stay focused on my goals to be more frugal and think about how I spend and save my money.

I read many blogs, and I enjoy your connection with readers and your attention to details. Many blogs have great content and good posts, but can lack the connection with readers. Yours has that connection and wonderful posts too. Great job! I enjoy your blogging style. I read many blogs, and I enjoy your connection with readers and your attention to details.

I keep coming because you have a great attitude that comes through in your writing. I don't get the sense that you're talking down to your readers or trying to be a guru. Your writing and topics feel very organic and yet I still come away having learned something each time. And like others have said, the mix of topics has been enjoyable. And six months? It seems hard to believe. I think of your blog as much more established that that... I initially started visiting because I kept seeing your name all over the comments of my regular reads.

They help me pinpoint financial books I'd be interested in, or books that go off on a tangent compared to being full of the information I'm looking for.

I always look forward to your contributions in the comments, and appreciate the perspective you bring to the community here. Thanks for being a reader! M3isMe: I'm about as far from perfect as they come - and I don't mind admitting that. Nothing I hate more than a self-righteous writer who seems to be writing down his nose at the rest of us. I've certainly paid my share of "stupid tax" along the way! @Julie: I try to scan articles before posting them to look for spelling/grammatical errors, but I don't always catch them. Thanks for being forgiving - some readers at other blogs will point out every uncrossed "t" and un-dotted "i" in an article, missing the big picture concept altogether! @Writer's Coin: My favorite bloggers have a conversational tone that I also enjoy. I figure if people wanted stuffy financial advice filled with legalese they could read a brokerage website.
