Morning!
So in an try and turn into extra minimalist over right here – AND – elevate somewhat cash for my chilly and hungry homeless buddies, I’m tackling one of many hardest areas recognized to entrepreneurs:
OUR HORDE OF DOMAIN NAMES!!
Which, in fact, are ALL superior and price MILLIONS of {dollars} if we ever get them off the bottom, however as Derek Sivers is fond of claiming – concepts are value nothing except executed 😉 And, effectively, regardless of how a lot I’d like to execute on ALL of those I’m fairly positive if I haven’t finished it up to now 10 years I by no means will…
However possibly YOU might use certainly one of these?! Maybe certainly one of these domains is the lacking puzzle to lastly getting your personal ardour mission off the bottom?!
In that case I’d like to make a take care of you right this moment!! You donate some cash to assist replenish my “Neighborhood Fund” (that goes 100% to my poor – but optimistic! – buddies residing on the streets) and I’ll offer you a site title of your selecting in return 🙂
It’s a win-win-win!!
Listed below are the domains up for the taking:
*******
#1) PFBloggers.com
That is an old-fashioned one picked up in the course of the Rockstar Finance days of 2013, and we had been going to make use of it for our group’s first Weblog Listing. We ended up merging it nevertheless with RF itself so it by no means grew to become its personal standalone website, however I’ve held onto it ever since simply in case I needed to construct out one other listing once more… which sadly nonetheless doesn’t exist in our house, even in any case these years 🙁
However possibly you may be the one to get one operating once more? 🙂 It’s a wonderfully direct title for one, proper?
And apparently sufficient, after plugging it into the Wayback Machine, I discovered it was truly at one time a house for monetary creators again in 2008!
The Private Finance Bloggers Community (PF Bloggers for brief) at present consists of seven blogs that write about private finance and frugal residing. We aren’t finance professionals however simply regular folks with objectives for a life freed from debt and fear.
How cool is that? You would possibly even recall a number of the unique founders of it in case you’ve been round for some time:
- Huge Open Pockets
- Our Fourpence Value

#2. PFChat.com
This was one other area we had been going to make use of for the boards of Rockstar Finance (2014), but in addition acquired merged into one fundamental hub… However what a brief and candy title for an internet group??! Or perhaps a portal or weblog connected to a enterprise or app or one thing within the monetary house? It could definitely make for a simple to recollect redirection url too, although in fact in my view it’s robust sufficient to reside by itself 🙂
That is gonna be the one which’s hardest to depart with as I nonetheless very a lot love the title and need to maintain out hope that ultimately I’ll make use of it!, however once more if I haven’t touched it in 9 years then odds are I’m not going to… 😭

#3. MoneyLatte.com
Okay – now this one is my favourite out of ALL my unused domains, and 100% what I’d construct my subsequent weblog on if I ever wanted to begin a brand new one from scratch… Simply consider all that natural visitors you’d get from speaking about saving cash on espresso advert nauseam! 🤣
However seeing how I ended up shopping for BudgetsAreSexy again for good, I don’t assume I’d have the power to handle one other one, though I’ve been tempted with sharing brief – fast – bites of finance to assist folks begin their day higher (much like what caffeine does to you! Heyo!), so for that route this is able to make an ideal dwelling, however once more will I ever pull the set off on it??! Most likely not.
So it’s all yours if you wish to steal my thought!! 🙂

#4. DebtDrop.org
I really like this area a lot too. And even dubbed certainly one of our initiatives “Debt Drop” again within the day after I used to accomplice up with Melanie Lockert of DearDebt.com to share some love…
We used to go round anonymously paying off chunks of debt for folks, after which picked up this area in case we ever needed to make it an “official” mission. After 2-3 years we took a break, however alas I’ve been renewing it ever since and quietly holding my tears again because it sits there gathering mud 😢
Out of all of the domains that is the one I’d like to see somebody take over probably the most and proceed placing out GOOD on the earth as we nonetheless want a lot assist on the market, specifically round debt. It’s so crushing to folks!!
*******
Now this one is *NOT* on the desk, however oh how I want it was…
Click on it in case you dare, however right here’s what my biz accomplice Nate St. Pierre as soon as publicly shared on Fb:
******
“I don’t save issues, and I’m not sentimental. Nor do I pay for issues I don’t want.
BUT.
When Jay Cash and I had been doing our Love Drop nationwide tour in 2011, we had to purchase a URL for a brand new website we had been constructing, and Jay had to assist me with the title. For no matter cause he simply wouldn’t do it, and I informed him that if he didn’t give me his ideas by the top of the day, I used to be simply going to call it Squidpants Worldwide.
He didn’t, so I did.
I purchased the URL and put up an image I took of him that day shopping for a lottery ticket and telling me why he was too busy to assist me with the title. What you see is your complete web site.
Right here we’re, 13 years later, after I get my annual invoice for renewing the URL, and I proceed to pay for it, simply because the joke nonetheless makes me snort every time I give it some thought. Additionally as a result of it brings again many good recollections of working collectively, stressing out, laughing so much, and placing some love into the world 🖤
Pleased web site anniversary, you jackass.”

So candy, isn’t he?
What I ought to do is definitely use certainly one of these domains for a Spite Website a la Larry David so I don’t have to listen to about this yearly, haha, however seeing how I’m the nicer of the 2 I shall respectfully take the excessive street 😉
You positive are intelligent although, buddy!!
*******
At any price, that’s what we’ve acquired right this moment! And I’m proud to state I haven’t purchased a *new* area title in years, and much more neatly – I now not purchase them whereas drunk!! 😂
Let me know in case you’d like every of those, and extra importantly in case you’d wish to contribute to my Neighborhood Fund. It’s the hardest season on the market for my buddies on the streets, and I can promise that each final greenback goes on to them as a result of I’m the one who’s actually handing it to them! (Or shopping for them espresso/garments/lodge rooms/and many others)
Attain out to me right here if , and have a most blessed vacation season if we don’t discuss beforehand. We’re all extra lucky than we even know, and it’s a very good time to be glad about that.
