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.

Hey everyone – we’ve now posted the complete text of the Glenn Beck e-mails on our “special edition” page. They’re long, but insightful and educational. Beck covers quite a few things, especially in his last e-mail, and touches on politics, Bill of Rights Issues (gun ownership, etc.), the moral standing of our country and its leadership, the economy and the bailout, all of which are very interesting to read and paint the complete picture, but the main reason we posted this was for the solid economic advice which he offers. Like we showed in the quotes below, people in America are beginning to realize that everyone can do things for themselves to insulate themselves as much as possible from the economic rollercoaster that has been the past few months. Living within our means, paying off debt as smartly and quickly as possible, and prioritizing needs above wants (more on this when our review of “You’re So Money” comes later this week) will help people somewhat stablize their own finances. It’ll make you think, for sure.
