Iām echo.lawrence, second generation FW member. VA -> CO
My dad was an active member since the beginning, but Iāve mostly been a lurker. Had to sign up here though because the FWF were always helpful and I want to keep them alive! Cheers!

Hello FWF! Iām new here, so allow myself to introduceā¦myself. I got into MS in January of 2013. I was googling cheap flights and came across a certain bowtie wearing blogger. I quickly realized cash > points, and points that can be turned into cash > vacations (for the most part), and the rest was history (or herstory, if you prefer).
Anyway, looking forward to it. Not to brag, but Iāve already earned a "Certifiedā status, and a nifty certificate from discobot, so Iām doing pretty good for my first 5 minutes on the forum.

Hello FWF I mean FDM? What is the new acronym now? Anyways, I was the one that kept suggesting H&B, Crown Vics, and Pics on FW as a way of being financially set, and I still maintain that. Crown vics are getting tougher to find, so we may need to find a replacement. Iām babbling now, so Iāll stop but Iām excited to see some real value added posts here!

Hi Everyone. I finally found where everyone went after the FW closing! I love the finance forum. I like demonstrating for my kids how to get everything they need without going broke and living a great life with little financial strain. My favorite quote is āA penny saved is a penny earnedā and as someone on FW pointed out, its actually more than a penny saved because of taxes. I pickup money on the ground, no matter how small the denomination. I have requested an $.11 check from my states unclaimed property database. I always try to do something myself first before paying someone to do it for me. I have a 1 tool cabinet, 2 mechanics tool boxes, and a wealth of DIY parts that my family will hate me for after I die. I have been happily married for 20 years in 2018!

Long time lurker, I miss the fatwallet.com format. It seemed easier to navigate. But this site rocks also! Any site that does to promote financial literacy is great in my book! Keep up the good work.

Hi everyone. I didnāt know Fatwallet shutdown until a few weeks ago when I wanted to check out the Finance forum. Iāve learned a lot from people there. SUCKISSTAPLES is the man! I didnāt post because I didnāt have anything wise to contribute.
