Welcome, friends! You've reached the personal site of J.D. Roth.
I am not the producer of The Biggest Loser or the former host of Fun House.
I'm a professional blogger and a middle-aged geek.

I'm the author of Your Money: The Missing Manual, which is packed with practical tips for boosting your income and slashing your costs. Your Money will show you how to improve your cash flow so you can take control of your financial life. I've also contributed to Be Thrifty, 10,001 Ways to Live Large on a Small Budget, and I Will Teach You to Be Rich. But mostly I blog.  
 
Get Rich Slowly — I'm founder of one of the top personal finance sites on the internet. Money magazine called it the web's most-inspiring money blog, and The Wall Street Journal wrote "the strength of his blog is that, along with plenty of advice from financial experts, he opens the site up to input from readers so they can learn from each other."
Get Fit Slowly — I'm co-founder of Get Fit Slowly, a blog about sensible physical fitness. I don't write there much anymore, but my pal Mac keeps the place humming along.
Success Daily — My newest venture features daily articles about success and self-improvement. I share my thoughts on becoming a better person, and invite contributions from other top writers around the web.
FoldedspaceI started blogging in 1997, before "blog" was even a word. Since 2001, my personal writing has lived at Foldedspace, which moved to new digs at jdroth.com in 2009.
