What is a blog hop?

Being new to blogging, I had no idea what a blog hop was. The first time I became aware that blog hops even existed was when I discovered one over at Eclectic Evelyn’s website. Participating in a blog hop sounded like fun, though, so I decided to give it a try.

In the process I learned that a blog hop is a great way to find other interesting bloggers to follow. You get a chance to discover what you have in common with other bloggers and make new connections.

A blog hop can also be a fun strategy for promoting your own blog. If you are blogging as a creative way to catch-up retirement savings, you want more eyes on your blog. Hopefully, what you’ve written will be so entertaining that readers will check out some of your other posts, follow you, purchase your products or click on your ads to help you make money.

I know I definitely enjoyed checking out more of Eclectic Evelyn’s site! Let’s get to the blog hop Q & A . . .

What Is F-You Money, and What Does It Have To Do With Herbs?

F-You Money and Herbs.

I learned about F-You Money at Chautauqua, a financial independence conference set in the English countryside and surrounded by herb gardens. Five amazing speakers/bloggers shared their ideas about financial independence (FI), side hustles, and early retirement.

One of the best parts of Chautauqua was being with a group of people who get it. People who have F-You Money. People who understand there is more to life than working at a job (when you’d rather just spend your time puttering in the garden or playing with herbs).

If you can grow a garden, learn how to forage for wild food, become your own chef, and get to know just 10 herbs to spice up your meals and keep you out of restaurants, then you may be able to save more F-You Money!

Having F-You Money means you can play in the herb garden, or do whatever else you like. Photo of herb pesto. — Spice up homemade meals with herbs instead of eating out and you’ll be able to save more F-You Money.
