Hi. My name is George, and I'm 23 years old. Throughout my life, I've been trying to earn and save money but ultimately I always seem to fail due to poor money management. Whether it's reckless spending on entertainment, material goods, or mindless vices, I haven't been able to keep an adequate amount of money in the bank long enough to be satisfied with where I am today.
I've started this blog in hopes of documenting my financial progress as I transition into my adulthood. This won't simply be a "money-making" blog, but rather, will be a journey of self-discovery and a story of coming of age in a world where the ability to earn and keep money seems to be one of the most important skills a person can develop. I finally want to destroy all my bad financial habits, and discover a life of financial independence.
In order to do so, I'm going to have to be completely honest with myself. Over the next few days, I will document some of the money mistakes I've made so far, and the penny-pinching techniques I've been trying to employ lately in order to save as much money as possible.
I'm a recent college graduate with tens of thousands of dollars in student loan debt, and hopefully, you can join me in my quest to both eliminate my debt, and to start living the life of financial independence that I've always dreamed of.
Let's face it, living at home at 23 is bad enough, but if I want to be 25, 26, 35, or 46 and able to live my own life and take care of the ones around me, I need to start working at it right now.
