As you’ve probably figured from the title of this post, it has been a year since I started writing Boring Money. This is what the last year has borne:
I think the combination of turning one and reaching the 2000-subscribers milestone is a good time for a reader survey.
does a fascinating reader survey every year and while my survey is nowhere near as deep or detailed as his, I’ve picked up a few questions directly from his survey.Here’s the link to Boring Money’s first reader survey. It should take about 5 minutes and (nearly) all the questions are optional, so if you’re midway and bored, you can skip right to the end. It’s also entirely anonymous.
Please do take the survey. I’ll share the results at a later stage.1
COMMENTS
I post most of my writings on Reddit. Here are some of the comments on my most recent post:
People sharing their perspective. Some their appreciation. Others, their banter. Oftentimes someone highlights something truly valuable that I may not have known (the third comment in the screenshot, for instance).
Here’s the same post’s comment section on Boring Money:
I do understand why readers comment on Reddit and not here. Reddit is entirely about its comments, while Boring Money is about its posts and the comment section a tertiary feature at best.
But it would be nice to have a few comments here every now and then. Comments asking questions. Or pointing a blooper. Or sharing an insight that might spark a discussion, maybe even a follow up post. If you have anything on your mind, just put it down there.
Thank you everyone for reading and subscribing.
This will only happen if there are enough takers of the survey. Definitely not going to share the meaningless results of 10 people taking the survey, ha.
First of all thanks for sharing your knowledge here.
My opinion is need more blogs from you like the dots you connected in Adani fund issues.
Do continuously write where everyone lacking that part now a days and your blog made me curious to understand more because of that after I read your blog I will go and check other sources for details. That's makes me to read more.
The posts have been great so far!
With regards to the paid plan question, in the survey. It totally depends on the value of the plan and posts per month.
I guess it's cost needs to be proportional to the effort you put in, probably need an entire survey just for that.
Thanks for the all fascinating content! The context and background information provided in each post really help make it easy to digest, and also show how absurd finance can be sometimes
