No Credit Needed & Get Rich Slowly Join Money Blog Network

For the observant ones, you may have noticed the Money Blog Network logo appear on Get Rich Slowly’s sidebar on Saturday and that’s because both JD and NCN at No Credit Needed have joined the the Money Blog Network this past week. I was really happy when both of them accepted our invitation to join because both have excellent writing styles, a very loyal following, and seem to bring fresh ideas out into the forefront. Plus, in my own personal email, forum, and other conversational contact with them, I think they’re pretty cool guys who I’d probably be friends with if they we weren’t so geographically spaced out.

I’ve mentioned both NCN on numerous occasions because I have the utmost respect for him because he pulled himself out of significant credit card debt (hence the name No Credit Needed) through hard work. He didn’t call up some debt consolidation company or seek some other way of shirking by, he faced his responsibilities and took care of them. In fact, not only has he done that, but through the No Credit Needed Network that he’s started, he’s helping tons of people work through their credit debt and problems. Oh, and as if all that wasn’t enough, he has a podcast too.

As for JD, he’s the brilliant mind behind Get Rich Slowly, which has a very unassuming tag-line of “personal finance that makes cents.” While he hasn’t pulled himself out of “massive” credit card debt, he’s certainly written about some great topics that I wish I had thought of first. If you don’t read his blog, you certainly should; while it doesn’t contain as much close personal information as many others, you will definitely learn something new every week, if not every day, if you put him in your blog reader.

So, in the interests of not using up my entire dictionary of superlatives in one post, I’ll just end it by saying I’m extremely happy they decided to join and we’ll see if we can do something interesting collaborative projects going forward.
