On Friday of last week (29-April-2011), My Personal Finance Journey participated in the 6th Yakezie Blog Swap. In this event, members and challenges of the Yakezie Personal Finance Network paired up and exchanged posts on the common topic of, “if you were homeless, what would you do to improve your situation?”
There were 16 bloggers who participated, and this blog swap was set up as a trail of crumbs. There were four total stops. At each stop, you were sent to the next post until you made it back to the first.
My Favorite Swapped Post
In this blog swap, I really had two favorite posts, each selected for different reasons. Read more about them below!
In my opinion, the most entertaining and well-written post was the one Debt Payer posted at Modern Tightwad. This was a favorite because it reads as a story in first person narrative and is very engaging! – What Would You Do if You Were Homeless?
Â
My favorite post based on the actual content was the article written by The Saved Quarter posted at Debt Payer about Getting Out of Poverty before you are even in it. I really learned a lot from this one!Â
My Swap
I posted at The Saved Quarter with how I would Improve My Situation If Homeless by working for tips.
The Rest
