The Simple Dollar has a very personal post today about his lowest point, debt-wise, and how it made him resolve to learn more and be free of it.

“So, what finally happened? One night, I came home from work and found five bills in the mail that added up to more than I had or would have for the next two weeks. I literally didn’t have the money to put food on the table at that point. I walked into the house and down the hallway to my son’s bedroom, where I saw my infant son bundled up in his bed taking a nap. I looked at him and realized that everything that I was doing was setting things up to make a very difficult childhood for him, not the wonderful one I wanted. I was worried all the time about money and I had learned that all he really needed from me was my love and attention.”

I tend to read female money blogs, but I enjoy reading Simple Dollar. It’s refreshing to see a male perspective on debt management from someone who’s really been affected by it. There are plenty of male blogs offering financial advice, but most seem to be written by people who’ve made pots of money and want to share their investment tips. I think the journey to wealth can be just as interesting, if not more so. You go, gi- er, boy!
