How I took control of my personal finances. A simple walkthrough for you (medium.com)

Hmm. I'm kinda disappointed. I was expecting more of a breakdown into an actual strategy, not what basically amounts to an ad.

Personally, tracking expenses has never really been the big problem. Once I've swiped that card, the action is done. I can't really take it back. If I go over my spending, I'm in trouble. On the other hand, if I don't swipe that card in the first place...

That's where I took back my spending. Planning ahead of time -- not tracking after the fact.

Anyway, disappointed in the ad-in-blog-form, but always glad to see advice re: personal finance.

Submarine ad for a product that hasn't been released yet. Article ends with a link to a website with an email sign-up form.

Bummer. I liked the write up, it was going places. But then it was an ad.

I would save the advertising spiel for the page you link to in the article, and make the article more interesting.

It's a good advertising technique, but the article needs to be useful without the advert.

I came out of that feeling disappointed and decieved when it didn't have to end that way. Subtlety is key with this kind of marketing.

Maybe this should be titled differently, like 'Buy my app when it comes out.' Some walkthrough.
