In reply to elle sees. I love the three ways idea, but I'm afraid to say I have a lot of things that can't be worn or reused that many times.

i admit i am frugal about a lot of things, and agree that a lot of the info out there is kinda the same thing over and over. my biggest tip came from my great granny sugar, who always said never to buy it unless you can reuse it or wear it more than 3 ways. i’ve really tried sticking to her advice!

In reply to Vol-E. Thanks for your comment. I like the idea of adding a subtitle if I choose to rename it. I also noticed J.D.'s return to GRS. I stopped reading his original blog but kept the RSS feed. After months of ignoring it I came across his return title and picked up right where I left off. (I'm not a fan of the paid writers.) I also subscribed to his new blog and I love that he writes about topics other than money. I need to muster up the courage to write about other things. All I need to do is push publish, how hard can that be?

In reply to Sense. Thanks for sharing your thoughts. I think I'll just have to take the jump and start writing about other things. I would like my blog to serve as more of an overall journal for me too.

I’ve renamed my blog numerous times (though mine has always been a potpourri, so the purpose is relief of boredom, more than anything else). As long as you keep the same URL, your readers will know — you can also insert “formerly One Frugal Girl” as a subtitle, until everyone gets used to the new name.

J.D. Roth from Get Rich Slowly underwent so many personal life changes that he, too, felt compelled to branch out, so he started a new blog called More Than Money. However, he’s back at GRS after a hiatus, finding that believe it or not, he can still find fresh personal-finance topics to discuss.

You’re not working for a national newspaper so you have lots of freedom to explore any new paths you like. Just use tags so interested readers can find you.

Right there with ya! I don’t have a house or even a good paying gig, but I think I’ve mastered budgeting and how to live comfortably while still saving. I still do monthly budget posts to keep track of my finances, but other than that, I just use my blog as my journal nowadays. It is still anonymous, but serves well as a record of life happenings. I doubt people want to read it, but if they do, it’s still there. Somehow, disconnecting completely from the blogosphere after so long feels like a terrible break up. I haven’t been able to pull the trigger yet.

For me, I may be moving into a much lower paying job (back to being a student!), so there may be financial challenges yet!
