I normally would have something more planned for this day, but unfortunately, I’ve been highly preoccupied with my travel plans. But I’ve got this little bit of time to celebrate my 2nd anniversary in the personal finance space. It’s been fun being part of the online financial blogging community and I wholeheartedly thank you for your visits, commentary and support.

A heartfelt thanks to all you awesome readers, subscribers, visitors, commentators, fellow bloggers and advertisers for all your support! I hope that I, as well as wonderful guest writers who’ve published their work through this site, have been able to contribute something positive to your personal finance journey.
So cheers to you all — for making it so much fun and truly inspiring for me and for many other bloggers to keep chugging away in our little nooks on the web. Hope to last many more years.

Congratulations to The Digerati Life!
P.S. It’s our anniversary next week so when I saw the title I got a little freaked out š
Congratulations! You’re still one of my favorite PF writers around, so I’m looking forward to another great two years and beyond!
@The Digerati Spouse,
I am honored that you’ve kindly commented on the site! Yay for the rare appearance! š Yes, I realize we’re celebrating our 13th wedding anniversary next week…except I won’t be here! Gasp. Raincheck, please! Thanks for all your help on and offline (<3) .
@Nick,
Wow, thanks for the compliment Nick! I thoroughly have enjoyed your site and your no-holds-barred sense of humor. If you met me in person, you'd see why š . Love your site and let's keep on blogging!
Happy Birthday!
Happy birthday to you. I can only hope to reach the tenure that you have achieved. Congrats and good luck on the next 2 years!
@Jim and Doctor S,
Thanks guys! It’s a great pleasure to be “working” in the same community with you.
Doctor S — Let’s hope to last as long as Jim š (and some other old-timers as well!) lol.
Time moves quickly doesn’t it?
Congrats on a job well done!
Craig & I will also be celebrating our wedding anniversary next week – but it is our 28th!
As I said earlier … time moves quickly, doesn’t it?
@Dawn,
Congratulations on your (wow!) 28th anniversary! Yes, time moves way too fast. Just yesterday, I forgot I wasn’t 23 years old any longer.
But times like that, I like to be delusional. š
Congrats on the 2 years, I hear that the 3rd year is the hardest (heeh). What do you attribute most to your growth over the past 2 years, word of mouth? search engines? Sure would be curious to read as I have just found the site, and just bookmarked it…
I would like to congratulate you on your success. You are one of my favorite blogging sites that I read on a daily basis. Keep up the good work!
Congrats SVB! Here’s to many more.
Congrats, It takes a lot to make it 2 years in the blogosphere. We are hoping just to make it to 1. Glad to see you still have motivation and are running strong! Keep up the good work!
Happy blog anniversary! And thank you for the continual great content. Your site was one of the first I discovered and remains a favorite.
Congrats!
Thanks to you all! It’s been a great honor to know you all. It’s also been a wonderful pleasure to read all your enlightening and entertaining posts. I look forward to more readings when I get back to my roundup routine!
Congratulations! TDL is one of my favorite blogs and I hope to read it many many years from now too!
Congrats on year two, SVB! š
A little late but.. Happy Birthday!
Congratulations! Happy Anniversary.
Congratulations on the anniversary. I don’t know for sure why Digeratilife has been successful but I assume because it has quality and insightful writing.
Congrats on your 2nd and all the best to many more good years to come.
Best regards
Congratulations on a very good site š
Woot Woot š
congrats – i cant seem to see my other comment but congrats for being around š
Checkpoint! Here’s an update: this site has finally registered its 2 millionth unique visit (and close to 3 million page views) at this point, and wow, that’s just something that really cheered me today.
Again, I want to thank everyone who has come by to visit and check us out throughout the years. At this point (see the date on this comment for perspective), this blog is around 2 and a half years old…. born by accident, but I’m glad to know that I’m still here able to nourish it on a daily basis (well, almost).
Congratulations! I am looking forward to reaching such milestones myself!

Congratulations! *tips beer in SVBās general directionā
Congrats on the milestones! I noticed how you were doing the other night when I looked at your stats.
Congrats, SVB! 2 million is a huge milestone!
Wow, congratulationsā¦
I hope I am able to achieve the same level of success you have!
Keep up the great work!
Congrats! This is one of my favorite blogs to read ā great stuff very consistently ā and the accomplishments are well-deserved!
Hey guys, a big thanks to you all! š Itās great to see how much this community we have is growing over time. I have to thank all of you as well, as my online friends, for the support and network over the years. This place wouldnāt have reached such a milestone without the help of other bloggers and the financial community. Itās exciting to see us all make progress.
Congrats, Iām really happy for you and your milestone. Looking forward to many more years to come!
New reader here, but I wanted to pass along my congratulations to you for reaching this milestone! Just think, in the two years youāve been blogging youāve had an impact (some large, some small) on over two million people. Thatās pretty powerful stuff! Keep up the great work!
Congratulations on 2 milā¦.I enjoy reading your stuff on a regular basis. Keep up the good work!
Congrats on reaching 2 million unique visits! Keep up the excellent blogging š .
Cheers,
FIRE Finance
Congratulations, that is a big milestone. Thanks for all the effort you put into it, I look up to you.
Thank you once more for your kind words! Itās truly wonderful to be around such great and supportive bloggers ā I find you all to be inspiring from both the blogging and financial standpoints. Iāve learned a lot about finance from all your stories (figured out what credit card arbitrage was)! And as our blogs grow āolderā I look forward to celebrating everyone crossing their own milestones.
WOW! Congratulations! I know you must be very excited and you should be! You have a wonderful blog here so it isnāt surprising that it is visited so often! Keep up the wonderful writing that you do!
-Keith
Two million in two and a half years? Whooshe! I hope I can achieve half that successā¦ and like Paul said above, this is great inspiration to others as wellā¦ it would be great to see a post, too, on how you think you achieved that success ā what you did that worked the most, etc.
Congrats SVB! May the next 2 million come even faster! Keep up the good work and thank you for all you have done for the PF blog community!
That is an awful lot of visitors and from reading a few of your articles very well deserved. That really does show the power of the internet and quality of your articles.
Congratulations! Those are amazing milestones! I can not even begin to imagineā¦ keep up the great work and trail blazing for all the rest of us.
Thanks!

Here is my 4th anniversary announcement. Time flies!
I’m at my 4th year of web existence here at The Digerati Life and I’m happy to make it to another year! I’m ringing it in with close to 5 million readers (it’s on track to hit this number in a month’s time) and 6,000 Feedburner subscribers. What can I say but a heartfelt thank you to all who continue to visit, read and comment. As always, I’m grateful to fellow bloggers and writers who’ve shared their work with us here. I also appreciate the advertisers I’ve come to know, as they’ve helped support the site through the years while giving me a chance to learn about better ways to improve my financial situation through new products and services they bring to my attention.
If you haven’t had a chance yet, you may want to bookmark this site through these methods (if I annoy you in any way, you can always unsubscribe! š ):
Wow 5 million, now that’s what I call a big number š Congratulations!
Congrats on the blogiversary. 4 years is quite an achievement.
Wow! 5 million readers, 6k feed subscribers and four years is an awesome milestone :). Keep up the excellent work that you do at your site.
With best wishes,
FIRE Finance
Congrats on your 4 year mark and 5 mil visitors!
@All,
Thanks! I can’t believe we’ve been at it for this long… We should have some big thing going on at every major anniversary — 5 years, 10 years, etc! I’ll have to start calling it some fancy name like my blog’s “Flowers” anniversary (see this list). 5 years is “Wood” and 10 years is “Tin”. Haha! Don’t know if applies to anything other than a wedding anniversary though.
