I think this Liebster Award was a great idea to help new bloggers gain more exposure while sharing a little bit of personal information to their readers. <br /><br />Best wishes.

Additionally, I think they do help to drive additional traffic to new bloggers. I'm still new and appreciate any help I can get and have no problem do the same in return. :)<br /><br />Best wishes!

I enjoyed your responses to the questions. ...AFFJ,<br /><br />I enjoyed your responses to the questions. These are fun to learn more about our fellow bloggers. I didn't know you were already nominated, there's a lot of these awards flying around it seems. <br /><br />Take care!

We were also nominated once, too! I'm...Hi AFFJ,<br />We were also nominated once, too! I'm going to cop out and write my responses here and I'll let WE#2 to stop by as well and share.<br /><br />1) My main reason for blogging is to teach people. I wanted to blog about something (anything) and Wallet Engineer #2 suggested that we write about finances because we don't have a typical American mentality about finances.<br /><br />2)Probably my mother. She instilled in me an inexhaustible tenacity. She taught the worst that could happen is someone saying no - you're not going to die, so just try. And because of her I have more social grace than most engineers should be allowed, but still less than most.<br /><br />3) Not clear on the question, but I'm 3% to retirement and 97% from early retirement. Given that I plan to retire in 10-15 years you may expect me to be 6-10% of the way, but compounding interest makes it so my % towards retirement is exponential rather than linear.<br /><br />4) I have $10,000 so I know I invest it. If I received $10,000 as a windfall, I would try to start a business if I found an idea I was passionate about. Backup plan would be to travel on the cheap (think hostels).<br />5) You're pretty mean trying to make me decide. I've never read a fiction book twice so there is no immediate winner. The book with the most lasting imprint has been The Wheel of Time series by Robert Jordan because it is so sprawling and immense. Otherwise, perhaps, Dune. Maybe I'll re-read Dune.Wallet Engineershttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04116295538595677882noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1893129263573703047.post-28709815341593839082014-08-26T11:45:32.871-07:002014-08-26T11:45:32.871-07:00Thanks for visiting and the kind words.
