Yakezie Challenge Carnival #4 - The Growth Edition

Yakezie… what?

The Yakezie is a group of bloggers that have joined to challenge themselves and each other to continuously improve and to selflessly promote others. It is not about competition, it is about cooperation.

Our little band of bloggers is slowly but surely growing more and more each week. And the success of this challenge is nothing short of amazing. If I am not mistaken, when we started this effort we had 4 blogs represented on page 1 of the WiseBread 100 Most Popular Financial Blogs. At last check we have 20! Now that is growth!

The challenge was originally launched by Financial Samurai. If you are interested in joining the challenge, you can by simply following the criteria:
