We’re glad you’ve made it to Under the Mattress. We know we’re the new kid on the block, so when we say thanks for coming, we mean it.

We’ve got new visitors finding us everyday – we’ve already had a 150% increase in visitors since yesterday. Most of you are checking out Glenn Beck’s long (and detailed) informational e-mails where he talks about the economy. If it’s your first time Under the Mattress, don’t leave thinking that’s all we’ve got to offer! We just posted our first book review, a look at “You’re So Money,” by Farnoosh Torabi, and we’ve also posted our weekly link round up which includes some great ideas for cheap Halloween costumes.

If you’re liking us so far, just wait and see what we’ve got planned for the future. Want us to come to you? Hey – we can do that. Just check out our quick and easy subscriptions page and you can have the UTM feed delivered daily to your inbox, RSS reader, or just about anything else that can catch us. We’ve noticed it’s a bit quiet in the comments feed out there (we can hear the comment crickets chirping) – we want you to talk to us, tell us what you want more of and less of – and we’ll try and make it happen! (You never know what’ll happen if you comment at UTM – our first brave commenters may find it worth their while….) Check it all out, make yourselves comfortable and look around.

Like What You’re Seeing?

As the site begins to come to live, we’ve got a couple of things we’re excited about right off the bat. UTMGuy is working through the book “You’re So Money” by Farnoosh Torabi. As soon as we’re finished we’ll review the book. Also, a review of online financial management sites, tips from around the $$ blogosphere on celebrating the holidays in style while maintaining your budget, and some tricks we’ve learned about lightbulbs and our electricity bill are on tap. Check us out in the coming days for all this and more!

Dontcha Mess with My Money

October 21, 2008 at 5:15 am | In Site News | Leave a Comment

Hi – UTMGuy here with the first post on the Under the Mattress Blog. UTMGuy is married to UTMGal. Both are college students working part-time, trying to make ends meet. We’ve recently become extremely motivated to learn about money, learning how to earn it, save it, make it work for you, and get the best bang for our buck. This blog is not necessisarily a money-making venture, though it sure wouldn’t hurt if it did. We hope this is a place for real-world information. We’re working on some book reviews, financial sites and online service reviews, and many other things we’re learning through our research. We know that teaching others something you learn is the best way to learn something, so hopefully this will be mutually beneficial to both us and you. The tagline for the site comes from the song “Don’t You Mess With My Money” by blues artist Sterling Harrison. It can be found on the album “South of Snooty Fox.” We picked this as the tagline for the site because not only is Harrison’s sassy voice and swinging vocals a ton of fun to listen to while blogging, it’s a good mantra to live by – “don’t mess with my (your) money” – do it right and live happy! Stay tuned as the site gets fleshed out and comes to life over the next month or so.
