I spoke a little too freely on my frustration with not getting a raise. Well, I've started again - under a pseudonym - and I don't talk about my work, other than my income. So, HOPEFULLY this won't happen again.Morgainehttp://www.morgaineandmoney.blogspot.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6337895450730818700.post-3550872439166975252010-03-03T23:44:03.444-07:002010-03-03T23:44:03.444-07:00wow! Awesome feedback, thanks!!
@ best friend - ...wow! Awesome feedback, thanks!!<br /><br />@ best friend - don't worry, you won't say something wrong. It's totally open :)<br /><br />You guessed right - there are a few folks who have been made public - not by a choice of their own. Often they close down their blog - sometimes start up again.. it's a tough choice that should be left to each inidividual, not to someone who gets a kick out of figuring out who the anonymous people are... kinda sad i think.<br /><br />@SS4BC - so far so good :) Hopefully it stays postive.Jessiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11259285806446208884noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6337895450730818700.post-76900831259777181052010-03-03T15:00:46.722-07:002010-03-03T15:00:46.722-07:00Hmm. I totally struggle with this. I've never ...Hmm. I totally struggle with this. I've never revealed my name on my blog. BUT, for a few days I inadvertently linked to my real life Twitter page from it. My 20SB profile page uses my real first name. And I've put up face shots a couple of times.<br /><br />If I was to be outed, I wouldn't really be too fussed.<br /><br />The one thing I worry about is work - I wouldn't want anyone I know professionally finding out that I blog, sometimes about money. And I try not to write about things that are going on at work.<br /><br />When I first started out and just wrote about random things in my life, I linked to it from my Facebook page. I eventually took down the link, though. I don't think anyone still follows me from those days, but if they do, they're probably close enough to me that I don't mind.eemusingshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08025534387718090906noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6337895450730818700.post-73839855484957712010-03-03T12:08:14.841-07:002010-03-03T12:08:14.841-07:00I think it's pretty wonderful too! Jessie and ...I think it's pretty wonderful too! Jessie and I were talking the other day about balance and how between the two of us we'd be the perfect balance, I spend too much and I think she saves too much (and her saving might miss opportunities) (I hope that was okay to say) (I'm nervous about posting a comment, I know you said it was okay to do so, but this is your thing and I don't want to say something wrong)<br /> <br />;) <br /><br />I'm enjoying reading your blog and I think I will definately learn some things along the way.<br /><br />Thank you for trusting me! <br /><br />I heart you!<br /><br />PS - what is this about the outing stuff? Some ppl have written blogs and then their names become published and their identities found out? Thats scary.<br /><br />PPS Also please let me know if I inadverdently blog wrong? lol I just don't know the rules!Best Friendnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6337895450730818700.post-29438198929198335192010-03-03T12:01:52.920-07:002010-03-03T12:01:52.920-07:00The only people who know who I am IRL are the DC a...The only people who know who I am IRL are the DC area PF bloggers.

I am from a small town where word travels very fast, and your business is everyone's business so I know once one person knows, the whole town will know my situation. I'm just not that comfortable with everyone knowing it yet. I share my financial situation with some friends verbally, but they don't need to know all the details.Girl Makes Centshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13178475518084685735noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6337895450730818700.post-86875805851850766742010-03-03T11:20:27.237-07:002010-03-03T11:20:27.237-07:00Hahaha...

I believe when I posted my "self outting" post a few months ago (<a href="http://smallstepsforbigchange.wordpress.com/2010/01/04/anonymity-an-executive-decision/" rel="nofollow">in January was it?</a>) that you said you were struggling with this issue.<br /><br />Welcome to the "dark side" on un-anonymity.

I gave my link to a few other friends, but they don't read it (not interested in PF at all). <br /><br />I have a few close PF bloggers on my Facebook, so they know who I am and vice versa. <br /><br />But ever since Krystal was outed on her blog - I am so paranoid!! <br /><br />I think it's great you told your friend though! :)Frugal Dreamerhttp://www.frugaldreamer.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6337895450730818700.post-72138459557994106572010-03-03T08:46:42.216-07:002010-03-03T08:46:42.216-07:00I find that as I share more I'm being more pri...I find that as I share more I'm being more private about who I am. Because I talk so much about PF, I get worried about identity theft. So I find myself walking a fine line between giving too much information and none at all.<br /><br />All my closest friends & family members are aware of my blog. It's up to them to visit the site though. I do express that I'd prefer them not to comment though. As I get to know people in real life (such as FB, Ginger, Webgrrl & Arianne), I begin opening up who I am. But not before that I've found.The Asian Pearhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05835341186818387085noreply@blogger.com
