untitledI’m a twenty-something young professional in a technical field, trying to enjoy life and use my budget!

I was raised in the Midwest (cold in the winter, hot in the summer, and some of the friendliest people you’ll ever meet) and worked there for a couple years after graduating college (my parents didn’t pay for it, but really, that is ok).

In early 2008, I picked up and moved to southern California to lay on the beach, learn to sail….  and you know, work.   I go to grad school part time, love hiking and camping on the weekends, and track my savings and my goals every month.


This blog covers the details of my finances and my thoughts on money matters.  And occasionally, some clothes and shopping sneak in.

Were you wondering how to make progress bars?  Read this.
