Dear GMBMFB Readers

A lot of people have been leaving comments about how my blog has shifted focus, how I’m spending too much, how I’m boring now, how I have a shopping problem (?), how I’m just “a regular 9-to-5 drone,” and how I’m not doing the things I was doing two years ago, or even last year. Situations change, people change, and I have to adapt.

So when I started this blog, I was in debt. Then I got out of it. Then I lost my job. Then found a new job and moved to Vancouver. Then I got a better job. All while planning this trip of a lifetime which is not going to happen next year as planned. I’ve had a lot of exciting things happen to me over the past few years. And now that my situation has changed, yeah I’ve purchased a new car that I’m really happy about. If you don’t like it, too bad. I’m working at a job, trying to earn money on the side, trying to get the best deals with everything that I buy, and saving for new goals – retirement, travel, and hopefully in the next 3-5 years we’ll have enough saved up for a place of our own.

Personal finance is different for everyone. That’s why it’s called ‘personal’ finance. We all have to make decisions that we think are best for our lives and our situation. That includes spending and saving on a big and on a small scale. I’m not going to waste time justifying my decisions and my life to those people who don’t like/agree with what I’m doing. I’ve blogged about perception so many times and have shown that even though I may be talking a lot about spending money, I’m still saving in the background.

I certainly appreciate all comments that I get, and if I lose readers along the way because I’m not going traveling anymore, or because I’m boring or because I work a regular job, or because they think I’m a shopaholic, or because I’ve changed my goals because my life has changed, unfortunately that’s something I can’t control. I’m not out to win any popularity contests – I’m out to do what’s best for my life, and I’m here to blog about it. What you see is what you get.

That’s all. :)
Krystal.
