Many of you are receiving this post in your email and you might be thinking "What in the name of Uncle Fred is going on here?" The answer is I'm bringing the Thousandaire Newsletter back from the dead. I started this newsletter a long time ago but only sent out two or three editions. It turns out it didn't make a lot of sense to have some content for the website and other content for the newsletter. So I'm changing it up! From now on my "newsletter" is simply going to be all the original content from my website in your inbox. When I write a post, you'll find it in your inbox that morn

In the last few weeks you may have noticed my website running a little faster. You also may have noticed that my new faster web hosting is cheaper than my old host. Wait, no, you wouldn't know that. That's why I'm telling you now! This website has been moving slowly for months now, and I've been wanting to do something about it but my new website Reward Boost is taking up so much of my time (and will be launching a new exciting feature soon) that I hardly have time to write blog posts, much less optimize my site performance. While I wasn't even thinking about a new web host, lucki

Today is the first official day of the Financial Blogger Conference, with the main event being the Plutus Awards hosted by yours truly. I was asked on twitter on Monday when I'd be doing my next music video. The answer is tonight. I'm going to kick off this awards show with a live musical performance accompanied by a little slide show. It's going to be awesome and I hope you are all going to attend the conference. If you aren't going to be there, I understand there will be video of the event and I'll be sure to post a link as soon as I have one. I've been pretty stressed with the

As you may have heard, I'm the MC of the Plutus Awards at #FINCON12 this year. I'm preparing some pretty exciting things to make sure it's a fun and entertaining event, but the most important part of the night is the winners of the awards. That's where you come in. Nominations for the Plutus Awards opened today and I'd love for you to provide your input. Nominations run for the next two weeks and the 5 most nominated blogs become finalists where a panel of bloggers will select the winners. It's kinda like we're mixing the People's Choice with the Academy Awards, except we are taking out

I signed up to host the Carnival of Money Pros for a few reasons: I like to read other personal finance articles but don't do it as much as I would like It helps build SEO for this site I was too busy playing Scramble With Friends to write an article Last week I only posted three articles, which is very low for me. I usually post four or five. However, I've been working on building a new website and that is taking a lot of my time. Any other free time I have has been spent playing Scramble with Friends. I know a lot of people like Words with Friends (scrabble on your smartphone),

I got an email over the weekend that made me laugh pretty hard, but then it also made me think for a little bit. Here's the email, with the subject "I\'ll Make You A Thousanidaire" (yes, he spelled Thousandaire wrong). I have the ultimate question for you.... Will you sell me your domain name for one thousand dollars? This could be a good deal. I did buy the domain for $300. That's a 333% ROI right there. If you know anything about me and how much time, effort, sweat, tears, and love I put into this site, then you know I'm more likely to hit the top spot in the Billboard Top 100 with You

Here's what I've realized about me and making music videos. If I don't publicly commit to all of you wonderful readers that I'm going to do a video, it doesn't get done. I've had one idea ALMOST done for about three weeks now, and I'm not making any progress. So I'm making a commitment! I will have my next song written and completely recorded (audio only) by the end of this weekend. That's a guarantee. Here are a few reasons why I can make this happen: It's already about 75% done, so I just have to finish a few more lines (although these have proven to be the hardest ones to write)

I want to tell you guys a secret. I love lunch. Almost as much as these guys. One day I fully intend to get a group of people together and do some kind of a live musical performance like this one. This is the baseline though. It has to be at least this good. If I were to do this kind of video, does any have any suggestions about what the song should be about and where the location should be? If you do, leave your suggestions in the comments. Love you guys. Carnivals This Week Yakezie Carnival at Little House in the Valley Carnival of Financial Camaraderie at Financial Succes

I started a new website! Don't worry. Thousandaire will continue as usual with posts 3-5 times a week and music videos (whenever I actually get around to posting them). This is a brand new, completely different site. In fact, I'm not doing it alone. Tag and I are starting a new website. That's right, we are gonna tag team on a website that tracks our P90x workout in the new year. Get it? Tag and I are tag teaming. It's a play on words. It's funny. Right? I Wasn't Kidding About Getting in Shape We are serious about getting in great shape over the next three months, and we are going to t

Merry Christmas to all Thousandaire readers! The Kevin McKee Christmas Last night I had dinner and Christmas with all of my mom's family. Because I live 600 miles away from St. Louis, I really only get together with all of my mom's family once a year at Christmas. It's one of the best nights of the year for me. I woke up this morning and watched my niece open a bunch of Christmas presents from Santa (and none from me), and now I'm on the way to go spend time with more family. This is when I will exchange presents with all of my immediate family. I'm a crappy Christmas shopper so I ho
