20SomethingFinance 4th Blogiversary & Best Posts of 2011!
20SomethingFinance started over a holiday break in December of 2007. It’s hard to believe that I’ve been at this for 4 whole years. Don’t worry though, I published more posts than any other year in 2011, and have no thoughts of slowing down.
To celebrate, I wanted to continue the annual year-end tradition of highlighting my picks for the best posts of the year.
These posts are a combination of the most popular, most highly commented, most controversial, best (my picks) posts of the year.
If you want to take a trip down memory lane, check out the best posts of 2008, 2009, 2010, and 2012 as well.
If you are new here or haven’t yet done so, you can follow the 20SomethingFinance Facebook page, circle me on Google+, follow me on Twitter, or subscribe to get new posts via email or RSS.
Thanks for making 2011 a great year on the blog, and I’m looking forward to continuing the push in 2012 for early financial independence with all of you! You can look forward to new community features and much more in 2012.

I’ve been reading your website ever since my wife found it. I really enjoy reading your posts and opinions. I really enjoy your articles where you vent about poor customer service or your money saving devices. Thanks for the great year and I hope you continue to post great reads.
