My name is Sierra black. I've been staff writer here while accessing rich slowly for just under a year and a regular guest. My first post for one is ' mist big things "of my family decided to amend our House.

This decision marked the real start of my journey to financial health. In my twenties, I accumulated debt: student loan debt, mortgage debt, credit card, auto loan debt. As my debts have been going, so are my costs: married, has two children, bought a House, is necessary to maintain. And finally exceeded my sampling costs junior-initial payment, I quit my job to stay home with my children.

I had the perfect storm of financial debt woe: launching, raising the standard of living and shrinking household income. At the top of this, I was miserable is trying to keep up with the Joneses in the suburbs.

Move backward in the city is one of the best choices is ever I did. Suddenly surrounded by the community. My husband can bike to work every day. To finish each time I needed to go. My life becomes easier.

And I had more money. Much more money. Move almost saved me thousands of dollars per month. Begins application of the money of payments, credit cards and forms a small group to read personal finance their money or classic life. This leads to GRS group me and I was hooked. I first came to GRS as reader and always treasured tightly knit, active community of the commenters here.

Since I started my healing journey with money, I have paid off about $ 20,000 in debt to credit cards. I also have doubled my household income through various self-started concerts and help my husband get huge raise in their work. Last June, I closed my home business child daycare and freelance writing. I am loving my new "day job", as well as find more financial success than I've done in my career.

Writing has always been part of my life and my profession. Before the days of my mother stay-at-home I was a journalist in the journal. Blogging is the perfect blend of journalism and creative non-fiction for me. I started a blog about my life as a MOM, as soon as I found I was pregnant. These days, I write about parenting and my personal adventures of ChildWild. My work has become clear in the New York Times Magazine, Mothering, Babble and many other locations.

Like the one my favorite bits of my own writing personal essays that have been published here and elsewhere:

GRS Blogger Profile: J.D. Roth

Get rich slowly as a place for one to write about money. Over the last five years is grown beyond that. It is now-multi author blog. This week, each of the authors will share a brief bio to give readers a little background. Enjoy!

My name is a Roth. I blog in one form or another for over 13 years. I was blogging before the "blog" is even a Word. In the first place, I blogged about important things. Like the comic books. And my cats. And how much I hate new Star Wars movies. It never Occurred to me that a person can make a living from writing for the Web.

Of 26 April 2005, I wrote an article on my site that combines all books, I have been reading for personal finance and tries to explain why they had the General topics. For years I had struggled with debt. I was stirred spender. My idea for investment is sinking dollars in stock in life would take-off. But when my wife and I purchased a century old farm in the summer of 2004, I finally hits the bottom of the rock. Will run from money. My two friends which financial books. Read them and then employed more than public library. And in the spring of 2005, I wrote what to read. I called this post "get rich slowly!" and it seemed to resonate with many people.

On 15 April 2006, I started a little smart personal finance site. In tribute to this article, first I get rich slowly name of my new site. I still do not realize this can be a way to win life. Just think, I was helping people. Gradually, however, my online income increase. Before long I was making more money from my blog I was not of my work day, sell cardboard boxes. "It's odd," I thought. "I wonder if I can do this for a living."

In March 2008, I decided to give it a go. I quit my job a day to become a professional blogger. Many people told me I was crazy. And to be honest, I was frightened, impoverished Kosovo. Was scared stiff. But here we are, almost three years later, and this has proven to be the best decision I've made in my life. I have recovered my debt and save a substantial amount in the future. I am happy for me and I am making a good income, while all the other people.

However, I am only one person, and I am not a trained financial. Two years ago I recognise that "One is GRS ' model is not sustainable. I was writing and bearing quality. I decided to be active, to deal with things before they got worse. I made some large behind-the-scenes changes. Then I brought on a handful of writers of the staff. Today, get rich slowly for me is not all; it is multi-author blog with staff of people who work with the business side of things. I get to guide the boat, but I'm not the only crew.

As a result, I have the time to focus on other things that are important to me, things like friends and family and fitness. During the past year I have started to travel. If ever I can break the addiction iPad games (damn you Settlers Catan!), you will have a lot of time for reading. This will be good. A decade ago I read two books per week. Today I'm happy to read two a month.

I've been happy this year to publish his first book (your money: missing manual) and my first concert with large magazine (my first column in the entrepreneur, appears in the January 2011, on sale now). I love writing about money, especially if I think it helps other people that meet their objectives.

But you know what? My favorite subjects are more personal pieces, whether here or at jdroth.com. They range from funny deem to inspirational, but always from the heart. For example:

What does the future hold for me? Who can say? I will zalepne around access to rich slowly until I am able to help other people. In the meantime, however, I plan to spend more time, the pursuit of other objectives, including writing more on my personal site. By everything I hope to be able to interwork with more readers just like you. It is the best part of the job.
