I'm navigating the big, bad world of personal finance one step at a time, and sharing what I learn along the way.

Long bio:

I graduated college under four years with a degree in Creative Writing, and I've just been trying to figure out the world since. I earn my living as an advertising copywriter in a midwestern town. In the past, I've worked as a travel agent and a paprika technician (yes, you're reading that right).

I grew up with divorced parents and on both sides of the track - poor at once house and very well off at another. I've spent time hanging out in dingy coffee shops with friends and riding in $10-million boats, and I believe drinking cheap coffee with friends is better. I believe in a life full of meaning, not stuff, and look for the balance between a comfortable life and a financially sensible one. Less is more. I subscribe to Suze Orman's personal mantra, "People first. Then money. Then things."
