This is the Marriage Kids and Money podcast with Andy Hill session number 74.

This show is dedicated to helping you strengthen your family tree and live financially free.

Thank you for being here today, everybody.

A little over a year ago, I started a blog. I called it ARbetterment.com.

The AR stood for Andrew Russell. That was going to be my pseudonym, my secret blogger name.

And the betterment portion is self-explanatory. I wanted to better myself each day to become the best guy that I could be. And that blog doesn't exist anymore. I went with marriage, kids,

and money because I wanted to hone my betterment in each of those three areas, marriage, kids, and with my money.

The reason I started these blogs and eventually this podcast was purely a creative outlet.

I wanted a place to flex my creative muscle, a place for me to share a few things, and mostly for me to learn a lot

for myself. As the months passed by, I discovered there were a lot of people out there that were

actually making some money doing this, and some of them were making a full-time living. It was

pretty inspiring because I was just doing this for fun, and then I found out,

wow, okay, there's money involved.

I started to learn from some of these folks.
