About Me

Finances and Money Management Made Simple

While it wasn't my favorite subject in school, I have always been very good at math. When I started college, I decided to major in finance, because I thought it would be easy for me since I was so good at math. I learned that I was very wrong! My finance classes were tough, but due to my dedication to completing my bachelor's degree with a great GPA, I studied and performed well in them. I am now in graduate school, and while it keeps me busy, I want to "pay it back" to society and decided to start a blog to share what I have learned about investments, accounting, and general money managing. I feel like there are so many people who need advice and don't know who to turn to. I plan to make blog posts as often as I can, so please come back and learn!
