So in an try to change into extra minimalist over right here – AND – elevate a bit of cash for my chilly and hungry homeless associates, I’m tackling one of many hardest areas identified 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 – ideas are worth nothing unless executed 😉 And, effectively, regardless of how a lot I’d like to execute on ALL of those I’m fairly certain if I haven’t achieved it prior to now 10 years I by no means will…
However perhaps YOU might use considered one of these?! Maybe considered one of these domains is the lacking puzzle to lastly getting your individual ardour venture off the bottom?!
If that’s the case I’d like to make a take care of you at the moment!! You donate some cash to assist replenish my Community Fund (that goes 100% to my poor – but optimistic! – associates dwelling on the streets) and I’ll provide you with a website identify of your selecting in return 🙂
It’s a win-win-win!!
Listed below are the domains up for the taking:
*******
#1) PFBloggers.com Gone! Get pleasure from it, Tom!
That is an old-fashioned one picked up through 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 turned 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 area, even in spite of everything these years 🙁
However perhaps you could possibly be the one to get one operating once more? 🙂 It’s a wonderfully direct identify for one, proper?
And apparently sufficient, after plugging it into the Wayback Machine, I discovered it was really at one time a house for monetary creators again in 2008!
The Private Finance Bloggers Community (PF Bloggers for brief) at the moment consists of seven blogs that write about private finance and frugal dwelling. We’re not finance professionals however simply regular individuals with targets for a life freed from debt and fear.
How cool is that? You would possibly even recall among the authentic founders of it in the event you’ve been round for some time:
- Huge Open Pockets
- Our Fourpence Price

I miss these guys… among the founding fathers (and moms!) of our business!

#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 bought merged into one important hub… However what a brief and candy identify for a web based group??! Or perhaps a portal or weblog hooked up to a enterprise or app or one thing within the monetary area? It will actually make for a simple to recollect redirection url too, although in fact in my view it’s sturdy 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 identify 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 Now Gone!! Thanks, Jessica!
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 start out a brand new one from scratch… Simply consider all that natural site visitors you’d get from speaking about saving cash on espresso advert nauseam! 🤣
However seeing how I ended up buying BudgetsAreSexy back for good, I don’t assume I’d have the vitality to handle one other one, though I’ve been tempted with sharing quick – fast – bites of finance to assist individuals begin their day higher (just like what caffeine does to you! Heyo!), so for that route this could make an ideal residence, 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 considered one of our tasks “Debt Drop” again within the day after I used to companion up with Melanie Lockert of DearDebt.com to share some love…
We used to go round anonymously paying off chunks of debt for individuals, after which picked up this area in case we ever needed to make it an “official” venture. 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 amassing mud 😢
Out of all of the domains that is the one I’d like to see somebody take over essentially 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 individuals!!

Click on it in the event you dare, however right here’s what my biz companion Nate St. Pierre as soon as publicly shared on Facebook:

“I don’t save issues, and I’m not sentimental. Nor do I pay for issues I don’t want.
BUT.
When Jay Money 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 identify. For no matter purpose he simply wouldn’t do it, and I advised 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 identify. What you see is the whole 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 chuckle each time I give it some thought. Additionally as a result of it brings again many good recollections of working collectively, stressing out, laughing quite a bit, and placing some love into the world 🖤
Comfortable web site anniversary, you jackass.”
