I’m one of the lucky ones who has worked in the two industries that have blown up in the last ten years; I was working for a start-up dot-com in 2001 when the dot-com and technology bubble burst, and I’ve been perfectly situated in the finance industry since then, which conveniently blew up a few years later in 2008. Finance has been a real treat since everybody has been hating Wall Street since 2008. It’s super fun telling people I work in finance. Not.
Finance in LA = not cool. Entertainment in LA = cool.
So I’m not going to even try to make finance cool, because it truly is one of the most boring topics on the planet. Instead I’ll share lessons I’ve learned over the last 11 years while working in finance which coincidentally have more to do with understanding people than understanding money.
I’ve learned that if you understand people, you can make lots of money. You don’t need to be the smartest one in the room, you need to understand people.
We won’t talk about what the stock market did today, because I don’t really care; I care about things you can control.
I’ll help you understand money as it relates to your relationships, human behavior, & current events that have a direct impact on your finances. My blog is all about You (oh, and me, because I like to include stupid stories about myself, that typically revolve around dating, because the world definitely needs another thirty-something single girl blogging about dating, obviously).
