And you thought I was just taking a sabattical, right? Well, secret negotiations were going on, due to close on April 1.

Apparently blog sales are hot, as Mr. Money Mustache (a favorite blogging engineer who preaches financial independence) today reported the sale of his blog for $9 million. At 500 posts, he netted $18,000 per post, while my 300 posts netted but a paltry $16,666 per post.

Either way, not to bad for a couple of engineers who broke free of their corporate shackles. So if you are still sweating it out in a cubicle and want to get rich, start blogging!

OK, by now I’m sure you have figured out this is an April Fool’s spoof. No, I didn’t sell the website, nor did MMM. And I plan to soon rejoin the blogging ranks, along with other on-line stuff on how to start/build/operate a small consulting practice.

But in the meantime, if you crave freedom like MMM and me, start (today) plotting and planning your escape to independence – financial, occupational, and locational. Both of our blogs can help, but you still need to take action.

Like MMM, I wish you badass success (even if you are not a badass engineer.) And thanks, MMM, for the inspiration for this blog post.
