About

Welcome!

Crivz.com was created as a means for discussing financial issues that are important to those who are in their late 20s through 30s. That isn’t to say the topics here aren’t applicable to others, but the primary focus is to help people get debt under control, establish a successful portfolio, and begin to accumulate wealth.

I share stories about debt elimination, saving money, and practical investing. You will not find any get-rich-quick schemes here. Nor will you find multi-level marketing fads or hot stock tips. I am not pitching any product or book. Instead, you’ll find daily information about personal finance and related topics. It’s about achieving financial goals, and ultimately building wealth.

I encourage you to comment on this site with your expertise, criticisms, advice, opinions, recommendations or general thoughts. I welcome reader contributions, either as ideas for stories, or as guest entries. Over the course of time, some of you may want to contact me. That would be great –- please do so. You can reach me at asm[at]crivz[dot]com.

This site is hosted by Hostmonster, a great host if you’re just starting out.

Advertising

Crivz.com is now accepting advertising. The goal is still to maintain the readability of the site for all the visitors, while attracting them to outside sites which may be of interest to them. Reach over 50,000 pageviews and 25,000 unique visitors each month! I don’t have set prices, it all depends on what you want.

Image and Text Ads

Please contact me with a proposal for either text or image advertising (125×125). Note that text ads will have the rel=”nofollow” tag attached.

Sponsored Posts and Reviews

My basic philosophy is that I don’t want to present things to my readers that I don’t think they will be interested in. So if you have a book, article, or product you want to promote, you are free to send me a sample or copy. If I think it’s applicable or useful, I will review it or blog about it. I won’t accept money for the actual review itself, and I retain complete editorial control over what I write. If you send extra copies, then I that will be offered to the readers as a giveaway to increase your exposure.

All advertisements are accepted at my personal discretion. I do not allow adult and gambling-related sites, but you can ask about anything else. Worse case scenario I say no thanks.
