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.

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!
