Blog #3, Purpose for budgeting


A Blog I visit regularly, http://www.mywifesavings.blogspot.ca/.   This is a blog that is written by a newly married woman that blogs about budgeting techniques she finds assists her with paying bills and saving money.


Posts are written frequently, if not daily, every other day, each post on a new specific topic each day time.  The writer writes in a very relaxed and humourous tone to enhance the reader’s interest on the subject being discussed.  For instance, in the post from Oct.31, titled “Trick or Treat”… 

The writer makes comment on buying “Double Bubble” gum because kids like gum and plus she won’t eat it.  She makes cute comments to keep the humour in the material.
Unfortunately, there is not the use of a lot of images in the writer’s posts.  She occasionally attaches one or two images to her posts, but in a whole there are not.  Therefore the posts are sometimes plain and less interesting.

There are no specific features in this blog that helps me determine the purpose of the blog is.  However, the content and topics of each posting determines the writer’s purpose, that being sharing tips with others on how to budget, pay bills and save money.

Although I am not a newlywed like the writer is, this blog has been very helpful to me, as I have had to adjust to my newly acquired ‘student’ lifestyle.  I may not agree with all ‘tips’ given by the writer, I do find many of them to be very helpful in my own budgeting.

  1. I think this will probably be my new best site. I definitely need to make adjustments to my "student life." Me and budgeting are not on great terms. Budgeting is like the friend I need around but never really the friend i want to be around.

    I think this blog will help with that. It probably wont make my LOVE it but it might give some good tips to make it more tolerable......hopefully....

  3. That is a really cool theme for a blog. I once read a blog post somewhere about these two guys and how they had found a way to have the most inexpensive weekend in Las Vegas ever. It was funny to read about the things that these guys did to save money. I think that saving money is a topic that everyone is interested in. Being strapped for cash is really trendy these days. Being rich just isn't as cool as it used to be.
