Hi,
I want to tell you a little about myself, but I want to try to maintain a certain level of anonymity on this blog. Not because I’m a privacy freak or because I intend to share personal information here, but I do want to write about my financial journey with as much detail as I can, and I just feel a little more comfortable talking about being $265K in debt if the whole world doesn’t know who I am. Maybe I will reveal my true identity some day when the debt is gone, but I don’t really think that is an important detail anyway.
So here is what I am willing to share so far…I am married, just about to turn turned 30, and have no children. I live in Arizona and currently work as a web developer/designer. Cooking and golf are my two main hobbies right now- I spend a lot more time cooking than golfing these days.
This blog is primarily about personal finance and getting out of debt. I have learned a lot about money and how it has affected my life to this point (hasn’t been positive). Now I want to correct my relationship with money and gain financial security along with a proper balance in my life.
I also want to spend some time getting in shape and losing weight. I think it would be hard to correct my financial life anyway if I didn’t put in the effort to get healthy physically. This is actually an area I’ve had great success in before, losing 50 pounds about 5 years ago and making a huge physical transformation. So despite my current weight, I feel that I have some good knowledge to contribute in that area as well.
I enjoy writing so putting in the time to create this blog doesn’t feel like ‘work’. I also enjoy reading other blogs and getting tips from people who are struggling with the same issues I am. That is why I am taking the time to do this. I hope that my efforts will help someone else get started on improving their lives.
