New Leaf in 2010

I’ve been having an eventful couple of months between work and family. After some honest and tough self examination, I realized I needed to simplify my life to improve it. It’s hard for me to do this (writing this post was difficult), but I want to let you know that I’ve sold Green Panda Treehouse.

I didn’t make this decision lightly; I have started this site almost 3 years ago. It started as a personal blog and as a way to keep an account of things that interested me at the time. In July 2007, I focused on personal finances and how it related to me as a college student. Slowly it evolved as I graduated and the topics reflected finance issues I dealt with out of college and included our hunt for our first place.

This site is very special to me and I’ve really enjoyed writing about personal finance topics. I’ve learned so much from your personal experiences and from the books I’ve studied while preparing for posts.  While I know this is the best decision for me,  my family, and my readers, it’s still sad.

I want you to know though, I’m not abandoning Green Panda Treehouse. I love this site and I’ll be around with writing weekly posts here. I’m hoping to see Green Panda Treehouse grow and I hope that you’ll notice some great things happening here. As always, leaving comments with your genuine feedback is always appreciated. I’ll be keeping an eye out for the community and I’m going to chatting with you here on the blog.

One thing that makes this process much more easier is knowing who’ll be handling the reins now on the site. I have utmost confidence that the site will improve and you’ll continue to find useful posts on handling your college and post graduation finances. I genuinely believe this is a win-win for everyone. You’ll continue to get fresh perspectives and posts here on GPT and I hope you’ll  continue to share your own thoughts here.

So I’m not saying good-bye (more like ‘see you around’) as I’m still a part of the community and plan on being so for a while. I just wanted to say thank you for everything. I appreciated the support and advice of everyone.

    I have no doubt the decision was hard, but as I’m sure you’ve experienced, circumstances change while blogs continue to demand attention! :) I wish you the best of luck with your “new” schedule.

    Wow, sweet! The next obvious question is, how much did you decide to sell it for!

    I’ll visit your new site more often, cuz I know what it is :)
