Retire Happy did it again . . . it was nominated for the second year in a row as one of the best personal finance blog on retirement.  These nominations come from my peers (other personal finance bloggers) which is very flattering.  I’m up against some great competition (Financial Mentor, Good Financial Cents,  Mr. Money Mustache and last year’s winner Retire By 40) so it will be interesting to see who is announced as the winner on September 6th at the Financial Blogger Conference in Denver.  Congrats to all the nominees!  Visit the Plutus Awards site to see all the finalists in all categories.
