The Wisdom Journal

A blog about making wise choices, improving your finances, and living a better life. The Wisdom Journal was started as a resource for people looking to jettison their debt, make more money, and improve their lives through carefully evaluating all the options that life sends our way. I tend to focus on the financial aspect of everything from career issues, to relationships, to parenting, to making sound investing decisions. Having graduated with an Master's Degree in Business Administration, I hope to communicate the skills, experience, and "what-NOT-to-do's" I've accumulated so that others don't make the mistakes I did. 

When I learn from MY mistakes, that's experience. When I learn from someone else's mistakes ... that's wisdom.
