Guide to the FSA
I figure since I've had a bevy of new visitors that I'd make a guide to my blog.
First, an introduction. Hi, I'm Frank the FSA. I'm a 22-year old atheist father of two (soon to be three) that is obsessed with personal finance. Yes, I know my profile says I'm 23, that's because my bday is later this year, as far as I'm concerned, I'm still 22 :) (I'm talking to you Uberkuh).
You might remember me from such blog carnivals as: The Carnival of the Godless, God or Not, The Carnival of Personal Finance, and most recently The Carnival of Investing.
I started this blog soley to speak about atheism inspired by I AM over at The Evangelical Atheist, but once I discovered 2million's blog, I knew I wanted to blog about personal finances as well. So at the start of the year, I revamped the blog and started talking about personal finance.
Here are some of what I consider to be my best posts:
I don't think atheism is a religion. There are many reasons why I think god doesn't exists, here's one, and here is another one provided by Michael Reynolds over at the mighty middle.
I've wondered how I'd talk to my kids about atheism when they get older and why we don't go to church while their classmates do. Oh, and being an atheist doesn't take as much faith as being a theist.
When I first began blogging about personal finance, I was lucky enough to be interviewed by Jim over at Bargaineering.
Here's why playing the lottery is a bad idea. And here's why again, and one last time.
If you want to know how much my wife and I spent eating out over several months, well, here you go. It might surprise you, I know it surprised me.
I have many many financial goals and here's why I have that specific net worth target.
I like doing spreadsheets and here is one showing how much money you make on 0% balance transfers.
You've probabyly been hearing a lot about prosper.com the new person-to-person lending site, well there are risks associated with the site and I was delighted to know that someone from prosper read my blogbut it also made me realize that I was blogging about prosper too much.
To round things off, this is why I hate Jesse Jackson and here's my take on the tax cuts.
Whew, thanks for taking a look at my guide. I leave you with my favorite quote:
The heights by great men reached and kept, were not attained by sudden fight, but they while their companions slept, were toiling upward in the night. – Henry Wadsworth Longfellow

I envy you for being financially savvy, at such a young age!
uberkuh,
It's more a function of necessity than anything else. It's amazong what having kids can do for you.
3 kids at 22? That has to be some sort of record for an Atheist. You are breeding like Mississippi Fundy.
I agree on the lottery. All gambling actually.
I grew up atheist (my family were non-practicing lutherans who didn't ever pray or go to church) and it was only occasionally an issue with classmates and peers. Their religion kind of wierded me out but I enjoyed debating it as easly as age 5.
Anyway great blog. :)
North American online casino gamblers constitute 48 percent of the overall Online Casinos Extreme gambling business and research indicates that this might shrink to 36 percent by 2010.
Yeah, three kids at 23??? What's up with that? It can't be because you're against birth control for religious reasons :-)
I guess you need to be financially savvy if you're going to support all those kids.
Just found your blog and I think I'm gonna like it. I had an atheist blog and after finding some financial blogs, I started a similar blog about finances. Haven't talked about religion there yet, but I'll probably combine the two eventually.
Dude, have you heard of condoms?

peace.
I am a lender on prosper and I have a question about the sub prime mortage crisis. Do you think that it will affect the repayment of prosper borrowers? If so, can you tell me your thoughts regarding how bad the affect will be and why?

My name is Diana Patterson. I looked through your blog and it attracted my attention by the varieties of the wholesome information. I have some credit cards web-sites where everybody can find useful information about finance and money as my websites can give answers to the credit cards crisis related questions. They are with high Alexa and Page Rank 2-4. Besides, I have a site devoted to book clubs and a site about dating online.

Please, let me know if you are willing to work with me and send me your rates.
Looking forward to hearing from you.
Thanks,
Diana.
P.S. Merry Christmas!! :)
So... I'm wondering too. Where ARE the black freethinkers? Is Norm Allen and the Infidel Guy it?
