November 7, 2008 was the official day I purchased the domain of Studenomics.com and started posting articles on personal finance and all that other good stuff.
If you recall I had quite the elaborate celebration of my 6 months of blogging, yet I chose not to even mention a thing on my one year of blogging. The reason I chose not to commemorate this event is simply because I do not feel I have yielded the greatest possible results with Studenomics (good is the enemy of great). I will stop that conversation right here and will promise you to expect big things from Studenomics in the coming months!
PT Money tells us to make the most of gift cards this holiday season. I personally am a strong advocate of gift cards. Why? Because it’s an easy way out. You let the person decide what they should buy.
Jim Wang of Bargaineering brings us a video post on the big impact of small everyday spending. I love this concept and Jim does a great job of getting his point across.
Trent of The Simple Dollar talks about a reflection of your closest friends. My own conclusion to this is that it helps to associate with friends that have similar priorities when it comes to money and life. I personally love to travel and am willing to make the necessary sacrifices so that I can travel more. Many of my friends would love to travel but instead of focusing on conscious spending they choose to get jealous and complain.
Suburban Dollar gives us reasons why base salary isn’t everything. Working from home, 401k match, health benefits, are all important things to take into account when on the job hunt.

Congrats on the one year anniversary!
I think that’s a big deal, even if you don’t!
Yes congrats! You answered one of the tricky question of “Tell me what is your greatest weakness” by highlighting your strength when you told us about your 1 year anniversary but decided not to mention it!
Congrats on making it a year. That’s 6 months longer than the average blogger. Looking forward to a successful year 2.
