Here’s the link to my interview with Jim of Blueprint for Financial Prosperity. Jim is the founder of the Festival of Frugality (which I’ll actually be hosting later this month). If you haven’t run across his blog before, here’s an excerpt from his About page:
“Blueprint for Financial Prosperity is a personal finance blog where I plan to discuss matters of shopping, insurance, investing, retirement, loans, credit cards, mortgages, bargain hunting and other issues related to personal finance. What you will find at Blueprint is a personal finance novice struggling to understand some pretty complex and confusing topics. I’m by no means an expert on anything and I don’t claim to be - you will learn as I learn, struggle as I struggle, and hopefully, together, we can avoid some of the common mistakes we would otherwise fall prey to.”
He’s one of the big names of PF blogging but also in his 20s like me. There’s hope!
Be sure to check out the interview–he asks me to share one thing that none of my readers know.
(I’ll have to say a couple readers who know me IRL know this…it’s pretty much unavoidable because my parents read, and they’ll certainly know anything I’m prepared to share for the first time online.)
And welcome, BfFP readers! If you’re not familiar with my site, I encourage you to take a look at the posts below or the categories links in the lower left sidebar. And if the interview intrigued you, consider subscribing to my feed.

Big names?
That’s very kind of you, I hope a lot of people make it over and check out your site. I think what you need is a picture of yourself (even if it’s a cartoon) so people can associate you with something visual. Cheers!

I was actually trying to sketch myself last night, but blue crayon doesn’t show me to advantage.

I guess I’m one of the privileged — I knew your secret (though I couldn’t remember the name).
Hmmm… I’ll bet I could think of a few more, too

Yes, well, keep your trap shut, Christine. I think your family actually gave me Dashell.

Hey, I think you’re a pretty big name in personal finance blogging myself! Bigger than me, and I’m hoping to become a bigger name

What about a quilt square for a visual association? I’d suggest a teddy bear, but that might not be serious enough.
