Who am I you ask?

Just a 30 “ish” year old  guy, who decided start a blog, on a random Monday, at  midnight. If you’re wondering if I am tired, yes! If you’re wondering why I started this, look below.

So why in the world did I feel compelled to start a blog?!?  Good question.

Well I sold the sports car (but got another one, sorry MMM), moved closer to work, got a bicycle (thanks MMM), turned my home into a  rental property, started maxing out the old 401K, invested, and attacked debt like no tomorrow. All of this so I can “retire” sooner rather than later. During the process of doing the above I learned a thing or two and wanted to share. Why was I compelled to share this at 12:47 am on a Monday? Who knows…

Why should you care what I have to say? Well I have a background in math, science, economics, and finance. Not to mention I have also spent  8+ years working for a “Fortune 100” company reviewing investments, proposing investments, and managing (you guessed it) investments.

So in summary, this blog will document the journey thus far and anything new that strikes my fancy. It will also teach you the basics of real-estate investing. The basics of the stock market. Taxes, yep we will cover those too. Investment appraisal techniques, economics , budgeting, check, check, and check. We will also cover alternative investment strategies because talking only about stocks, bonds, and real-estate can get boring. We will even throw in travel tips for getting you out of the country on a budget! The world is big beautiful place. You should see it!
