It’s a good time for J$ and Cait to step back, and I completely understand why they would. To me, it lacked that connection I so wildly desired from the site.
Personally, as someone who felt a strong connection to Rockstar Finance, this transition came as a shock. J$ had sold Rockstar Finance to someone who ( sorry if this makes me sound like a jerk) I had never heard of. I logged on to Twitter, to start my usual morning routine scroll, and saw that the entire personal finance community was shooketh. That’s when the Rockstar Finance takeover happened Both of these two still make me feel this way and I was reading their blogs before I even started my own, which means they’re still pretty much the greatest. Cait Flanders made you think and made you feel like you could be and do anything you put your mind to - financially and otherwise. J$ wrote with personality and often made you feel like you were his best friend with his witty and unique style. I think one of the reasons so many people loved Rockstar Finance was because it was run by two very well-connected bloggers who appealed to a wide audience and demographics. However, just a few months ago my opinion changed. To that point, I am eternally grateful for the old Rockstar Finance. It gave me that extra bit of motivation to keep on writing when most bloggers begin to taper off.
It was the first time I had felt heard on the internet. They - for some reason - chose to acknowledge one of my very first blog posts about three years back and threw my website analytics into a full-on panic attack. It put me on the map in front of a ton of readers ( both happy and mad) that I would have otherwise never had a chance to connect with online. Oh, wow, really? Are you still here? Alrighty then.įirst of all, let me say that Rockstar Finance truly helped launch my blog. However, I can’t stop you from reading on if you choose to. First of all, let me say that if you’re not a blogger or really hella-deep-into-the-world-of-personal-finance-blogs, this entire post will mean absolutely nothing to you. However, I really needed to get some things off of my chest before leaving for a short maternity leave, and I didn’t want to shift my already beautiful schedule to do so. Twice a week? Alyssa, we can barely handle you the one day. Which means I’m posting on the wrong day and also way too much. There are many reasons that I love the old Rockstar Finance
