1Q2011 Report for Alfa Sugar

As each corporation must report quarterly numbers, Alfa Sugar's first quarter report is a celebration of the first month of startup. 

Back when asked to serve as Board Treasurer for Wives of Faith starting in 2010, I had no clue that saying yes would lead me to today writing and blogging about financial perspective for Alfa Sugar.  It's been an amazing journey, for as a military spouse who has endured deployments, TDYS, and all other matters, I can relate to many military spouses in ways I never anticipated.  Discussing, researching and blogging about relevant military money matters as well as other topics of interest stemming from a career on Wall Street  has been a blessing beyond measure.  To grow and evolve as I talk with fellow military spouses has made it liberating to know that I am not the only one experiencing this kind of chapter in life.  It's also been a life-saver for me as I've dealt with exiting the workforce and being a mother.  My knowledge, experience and education is serving another purpose that God truly redirected according to His will.  Creating this blog, Alfa Sugar, and imparting financial perspective generated directly from my independant research efforts fulfills a passion I have for the financial industry.  It is with great pleasure that I present the latest stats regarding our first month.

Since inception, Alfa Sugar has had over 130 pageviews from an international audience representing countries such as Australia, Belarus, Hungary, India, Indonesia, Iran, Malaysia, Russia and the United States of America. 

Our top three articles were:
1) What is Alfa Sugar
2) Setting up House
3) Beware of Hidden Costs in your 401k

There are many military financial matters to review so we are making progress in providing the latest up to date information regarding military money.  I do post current and relevant topics along with links that directly support the article of interest.  Of course, please do your research and/or consult your personal financial advisor for more information. 

As the blog evolves, let me thank you for your readership.  If you have any ideas or suggestions or even a kind word, please post below.  Improvements and modifications will occur to this site as it evolves.   Alfa Sugar is intended to be the go to blog for the latest financial perspective especially regarding military money matters for spouses and their families.

May 6th is Military Spouse Appreciation Day.  If you know of a military spouse, please send them a card thanking them for their service to our country.

April 15th (April 18th) is quickly approaching.  Be sure to get your taxes done and avoid the last minute rush.
