I’m an MIT alum, living in the greater Boston area. I started reading personal finance blogs earlier in 2007 because I realized I still had a lot to learn. I’ve read a few books about personal finance, and more websites that I can count. I’m trying to balance having an emergency fund, 401(k), Roth IRA, and student loans while still enjoying the life of a young Boston-area professional. This blog is a work in progress, and I think it will continue to have more themes than just personal finance. I welcome questions and comments, both through email and the comment form. I also have ING referrals (checking and savings) available if you’re looking to open an account and earn $25 for free. Email me for those, as well. I hope you enjoy my blog!
