This popular PF blogger walks the walk

J.D. Roth writes with authority about getting out from under the dead weight of debt. In an interview at Wise Bread, Roth, the founder of popular personal-finance blog Get Rich Slowly, writes about how he accumulated substantial debt and about the wake-up calls that changed his thinking about money. Why is Get Rich Slowly (one of our partner blogs) so appealing to readers? "First, I'm just an average guy," he says. "... I've been where a lot of my readers are now. People can relate to my journey." He likes to explore personal finance from "a variety of angles" and values readers' contributions to the site. Advice he doesn't think he's emphasized enough: "Entrepreneurship is awesome."

When I first started reading JD I thought he was some kind of professional financial guru.  I was surprised to find out that he puts his financial pants on one leg at a time like I do.

JD Roth is a great blogger, and I've enjoyed reading his writing for a long time now. It's cool to learn more about his person in a direct fashion. Thanks!
