I’ve nominated your website for the Liebster Award for new bloggers. This email isn’t spam. When I received my nomination, I thought it was and was leery to open up any links, so I looked it up and saw its a WordPress Award given to new bloggers with <100 followers. Here's the link to my story where I mention you and four other blog pages regarding Personal Finance. Congratulations, and I look forward to hearing from you.
