About

Welcome to WhereDoesAllMyMoneyGo.com – a personal finance weblog (or blog for short). If you are new to the world of blogs, let me explain what a blog is: it is an interactive website that is part soap-box, part journal. I write a new article or post about 5 times per week. Sometimes the articles will be instructional, how-to articles, and sometimes they will be just my own wacky commentary or philosophical musings. Many people decide to “subscribe” to the blog (FREE and NO STRINGS ATTACHED), and as of May 2010 now there are almost 2,000 email subscribers and about 50,000 page views per month.

Who Reads This Blog?

People who are brand new to investing, hedge fund managers, sophisticated Do-It-Yourself investors, financial journalists and seasoned financial advisors regularly read this blog. I try to mix-up the difficulty of content so you can feel free to skip over the posts that are too easy/too hard for you and just read the ones you like in detail. There’s no law that says you have to read every word I write. Some posts will explain what the basic terms of a mortgage are, or how to create a monthly budget whereas others will deal with off-shore tax planning strategies or even reverse dispersion equity collar strategies.

It’s Interactive…

You can sit back and just soak up the new articles on a regular basis or you can join in on the discussion and respond or provide feedback by leaving a comment on any article you choose. Feel free to criticize, question or commend me or any other contributors to the site on anything you read. (Of course, we just ask that you be polite and courteous when doing so!) In order to leave a comment, just scroll down to the end of the article in question, and it is pretty self-explanatory from there. If you are new and have never commented before, feel free to leave a comment anytime, even if it is just to say “hi”. EVERYONE is welcome!

Lots of Contests!

This blog has been around since July 23rd, 2007. In that time I’ve given away A LOT of great prizes. In 2008, I gave away a Money Movie every two months (which is a movie which has money as a central theme): Casino, Wallstreet, Trading Places, Ocean’s Eleven (The 1960′s original), Boiler Room and Glengarry Glen Ross.

Some other prizes I’ve given away (and will continue to give away):

  • Apple iPods
  • Satellite Navigation GPS Systems
  • LOTS of books
  • Apple iPad
  • Digital Cameras
  • and more

All you have to do to enter the contests is leave a comment saying whatever you want on the designated contest posts. Sometimes I’ll offer bonus entries.
