So this week I finally got out on the mountain and got in a little snowboarding. I got a half day in on Tuesday and then went up for a few hours this morning. For how little snow have had this winter the conditions were pretty good.
Tonight we had a local Denver #FinCon13 meetup, so it was good to get together with some of the other local bloggers for awhile. It’s not even 2013 yet and I am already looking forward to the next Financial Blogging Conference.
I wanted to make a quick mention that you need to head over to Ready for Zero and check out their two new resources available. The first is Career tips and they have featured our article on how to answer the top 10 most common interview questions. The second new section is Relationships and Money where they have featured our article how to talk about money with your partner.

Thanks for the mention Sean! Glad you were able to get in some snowboarding this week. We had another dusting yesterday, but really nothing to speak of at all.
Sounds like the mountain are going to get 1-2 feet on Wed so I am pretty excited.
Thanks for including my post Sean! Hope you enjoyed your meetup. We’re headed to Vegas at the beginning of January for Blog World, and some forward thinking people set up a meeting up for PF bloggers attending. We’re looking forward to it.
Really cool that you are going to Blog World. I thought about going.
Very cool to see so many local #FinCon groups getting together. We had our Minneapolis-St. Paul meetup a month ago and it was a blast. I also heard that Atlanta has a local group.
We started the one here in Denver earlier this year and It has been good to get to know everyone a little better then just by their blog title.
Congrats on getting mentioned by ReadyforZero a few times! I hope you enjoyed the snow and boarding! It would be so nice to get away for the day and do that…
I need to start planning now for FinCon! I know it’s a long ways out but if I don’t start budgeting for it now then I’m not sure I’ll be able to go again!
Get on top of that. I expect to see you there. 🙂
I’ve been skiing all of once and I was pretty bad! Didn’t even get off the bunny slopes. Now I live in Florida and skiing is pretty far away… I don’t see me getting better any time soon.
Glad you’re enjoying the snow though!
Yeah you cant do a whole lot of skiing in Florida unless it’s behind a boat.
Thanks for the mention. Nice job on getting included by ReadyforZero. That is quality work!
No problem Grayson.
Thanks so much for mentioning our new resource centers :). And it must be nice to live in a place where you can go snowboarding often! I’m too much of a chicken to ever try it, but it does look like a lot of fun!
I actually find snowboarding to be much easier that skiing.
