    Announcing - Articles!

    Our editorial staff is proud to announce the opening of our new default landing page - our Articles section.

    While not exactly "chock full" (yet) of content, we wanted to get the articles out there because we believe that the best way to keep this site growing is to put material out there of use to people with similar mindsets - that debt is dumb - and who are looking for advice on how to achieve the goal we all share!

    You will find that going forward our default home page of http://www.debtfreefanatics.com will take you to the Articles. If you prefer to land directly on the forums, as I am sure that many of you will, then you will want to take a moment to change your bookmarks to http://www.debtfreefanatics.com/forum.php .

    You can also help DFF keep growing and help others in their goals by spreading the word. If you haven't already, like our Facebook page, follow our Twitter account, and share our articles with your friends.

    Thank you for making Debt Free Fanatics a success!

    Reaching out to me privately may not result in a quick response. Posting in the Visitor's Corner ensures other staff members will see your post as well and may be able to help you more quickly.

    You should put this as the lead article on the landing page. I felt a bit at sea for a while until I played around with it.

    Most of my jokes are for my own benefit anyway.

    Looks nice.
    You guys rock.
    Sometimes you just have to do what feels right with your money instead of what is "optimal". Too many focus on optimal outcomes, when good enough is good enough. (Thanks to Retired @ 50)

    Great idea to put the articles first! Also it is great to have chat right there up in front so we see it whenever we log on to the forums. It makes it so easy to chat for a few minutes!

    But back to the articles - the ones already there are great ones! If Debtkickerjim is on these boards maybe he would repost his fine post about paying off debt before investing, and any others he had before.
    BS1,2 - SL's ($238,231) gone - 7/2012
    BS3 - Done - 5/2017 ($150,000). Now filling sinking funds (car replacement, roof, etc.)
    BS4 - Social security (since 6/2016), pension & 457b on retirement. After tax investing - I wish I had.
    BS6 - In apt & working in one state, paid off house (7/1/15) in another - DDs house sitting (yes it is a good idea)
