This week I had the unique opportunity to meet Patrick, a fellow personal finance blogger who authors Cash Money Life. We ate a fantastic lunch at one of City BBQ’s locations in Ohio. As a born and bred Southerner, I must say I was impressed with the barbecue, but I was blown away at how much I learned from Patrick about blogging and his perspective on business. He is a true professional who sees the big picture. He also served his country in the armed forces. Patrick, thank you for your service to our country.

Here are some of my favorite posts from Patrick:

The road less traveled.
A penny saved is worth more than a penny earned.
25 ways I save money.
Where’s my economic stimulus check?

Be sure and subscribe to Patrick’s feed and read it daily!

    Great roundup, and thanks for including my “Soggy Hotdog” story. I’m envious that you got to meet up with Patrick - seems like a great guy! Who knows, maybe we can all host our own meetup one day in a central location. Would be great to put a face with all the names.

    Ron, it was great to meet you in person. I had a great time. :)

    I think I learned just as much from you, especially about business and management. You’ve got a wealth of knowledge, and I can see that your blog is aptly named. ;)

    Ron, I’m glad to know you’re following along and that you’ve decided to include me with such great company too!

    *jealous* Perhaps I can convince y’all to visit DC. :)

    And thanks for including me in the links.

    Thanks Patrick. I genuinely appreciate all the help you’ve given me and hope I can return the favor in some small way.

    I STILL hope we can get a bunch of us together and get some vendor(s) to pay for it!

    Thanks Frugal Dad!
    Your story hit home with me and I’m sure a lot of others. I remember having several of those moments… ! (I’m a slow learner, I guess)

    You’re welcome Mr. Cheap. You and Mike have a great thing going and I always enjoy reading your perspectives. Loved the “decreasing expenses” article.
