Remember When? Round-up of Blogger's First Posts

As another year comes to a close, it's natural to think back over the year's achievements, the trips you've taken, the jobs you've worked, the major milestones you've passed. Even if this year was relatively uneventful, you may grow a little nostalgic about the past.

Here at SpendOnLife we decided to take our own little trip down memory lane, and invite you to walk down it with us. We've rounded up some of our favorite personal finance blogger's earliest posts. Some of these are funny, some are not at all representative of what the blog is about today, and some were strong right out of the gate. Enjoy!
