If you haven’t seen the new phenomena, you probably will.  It’s called the disappearance of the PF bloggers.  Another Day of Life is no exception.  While you don’t get a message saying, whoops sorry I am gone, like at MyDebtBlog, and now the latest MyCrazydebt.com, you do see that I haven’t really posted much of anything since February 27th.

So why are so many personal finance blogs being lost in the shuffle, and basically found on the Internet as either shut down, or lost in the vast ocean with zero postings.  Well truthfully I don’t know but I have a few ideas.

First of all I think as the economy gets down to the lowest point it can people are finally loosing the hope they had about debt reduction at one point.  I know the path I am on now has little to do with debt reduction, but true survival.  So it can be very hard to be the optimistic blogger, when it seems that things just continue to worsen for some.

Secondly time.  A commodity of which I have none.  I don’t have the time to spend on my personal blog like I used to.  I spend my days at work which is really busy, and then tending to a family and trying to line up side work here and there to try and stop the financial hemorrhaging.  So for many their personal Blog falls to the wayside.

It’s funny, when I started Another Day of Life; I was really excited to get into blogging.  I remember starting this site on Blogger, and being an avid reader of “Acquire Wisdom” and “The Total Spender“.  One has not seen any posts in a year, and the other is gone completely.  Then I stumbled on to “Blogging Away Debt“, a really great site, which too will probably be gone within 2009, or at least change from the really great blog that Tricia runs, as she retires her debt, and her participation in that blog.

Then I met other friends, like Dr. John, Melli, Quilly, Kat, Nancy, and a whole host of others.  (If I didn’t mention you specifically please don’t take it personally).  They have given me lots of motivation when I need it most.

As far as my situation, it’s still not “better”, and because of that I have spent more time trying to figure out how to deal with it than blogging about it. 

So what is the future of Another Day of Life?  Well if you come back next week, you won’t see a message like this one.  But for now you may not always see a new post either.  But if you want to keep up, I hope you will consider having my updated delivered via a reader, or via email.  The when there is a new post, you will get to know first.

So the answer is, I am not sure yet.  I am not walking away, just stepping away.  Not saying good bye, but also not promising a daily post, or X number of posts each week.  For now I need to lay the groundwork for Another Day of Life, my life, my family’s life and build tomorrow for all of us.

So I will be posting, just not as often for now.  Though I hope that when I am back you will come back too, and that in the interim you will stop by from time to time, just to check in and see what new, or for a little bit of nostalgia.  I will still be visiting your blogs, and am looking forward to it.

So until next time, be well.

~Another Day
