Today is Enemy of Debt’s 2 Year Anniversary!

I have been at it for two who years. WOW! I can hardly believe it myself.

First, I want to thank all of you for keeping me motivated each and every week to continue to spread the debt free message. Before Enemy of Debt I had not written a thing, with exception to some high school papers long, long ago. To me, sticking this blog thing out is a huge accomplishment. I started to fade out around December of 2008 and feel I was close to just giving it up.

I think most bloggers experience this same feeling at some point—it’s like hitting “the wall” when you reach the 20 mile mark when running a marathon—the seemingly sky-high bloggers wall is intimidating at times.

I am glad I didn’t give up because I feel I have come A LONG WAY since then. Someone told me in the beginning that if you write, they will come. Haha! I wouldn’t say it’s completely true, but hey, maybe that’s what kept me going. It was my media mention on CNN.COM that re-fueled my passion and powered the engine into overdrive. I would also like to give credit to my really good friend, J Money from Budgets Are Sexy, for inspiring me and helping me figure some things out. It was his friendship that helped me transfer this blog into something more readable.

I have since developed many great friendships with other bloggers, that have helped me develop and grow as a blogger. Thank you all!

Lastly, but certainly MORE important, I want to thank my wife for putting up with my spending countless hours on this computer. Her patience and support has made all of it possible!

Some may think this blogging stuff is easy, but it’s lots of hard work, lots of dedication, and hours upon hours spent trying to give you something to enjoy each and every week is sometimes extremely overwhelming. In the end though, it is completely worth it.

I’ll see you in two more years! 😀
