Nov 15: J.D. Roth of “Get Rich Slowly” Speaking at Central Library

November 13th, 2008

I’m really excited about this one.

J.D. Roth, author of the blog Get Rich Slowly, will be speaking at the Central Library on November 15. According to J.D., the talk will run “from one o’clock until you all run out of questions.” Admission is free.

The library’s website has a nice description of J.D. and his website:

When J.D. Roth found himself overwhelmingly in debt, he hoped that reading personal finance books would help solve the problem quickly. Instead, he discovered that few people get rich quickly, but almost anyone can get rich slowly. His blog Get Rich Slowly is devoted to sensible personal finance. It was recently named most inspiring money blog by Money magazine. Roth describes his blog this way: “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.” Roth lives in Portland and makes his living through blogging. He has been blogging about personal finance since 2006.

I’ve been reading Get Rich Slowly for two years and am looking forward to hearing J.D. speak (and to finally putting a face to the blog). I’m not sure what his presentation will cover. Maybe he’ll talk about how he overcame $35,000 in debt, or maybe some other money-related topic. Regardless, it will be worthwhile. Let’s pack the house.

Too bad I came across this too late. I’m a big fan of the Get Rich Slowly blog.
