Introduction

This will be very short and sweet. I’ve never tried to blog before, but this post was highly recommended and who am I to turn down a recommendation!

Why I’m trying to do this?

• Because I like the fun and excitement and overall feeling of helping people work toward achieving their goals. Heck I’m still working on mine and surely will be forever
• Retirement and financials are very personal to people. I mean what do you never talk about.. politics and money mainly… it would really help if we had more open dialog, so everyone could gain a better understand and not have this extreme taboo around money.

So why am I qualified to tell you about finance? Well in a bubble I’m probably not. I’m in my early 30s, work a Monday through Friday grind job, and as a hobby I enjoy researching how to improve my financial life to one day have that freedom I have talk about. As I gain this knowledge, I love to talk to friends and family about it…. buttttttt… that taboo piece, yeah that’s real and no one wants to talk. I figured this would be a great outlet and hey if you don’t agree with me, that’s alright, and if you do hopefully it helps you improve your overall position and outlook in your financial life!

What do I hope to gain?

• If I can pass a bit knowledge along to just a handful of people that will make this all worthwhile for me, and if I don’t, well my fingers will get a nice workout writing all of these!
• As I said this blog will be about finance and retirement and different components of that. We will get into different ways to grow wealth, as well as how to use it properly, budget, etc.

I will be trying to keep this updated weekly, so give it a peak every Sunday night to see new posts! In the meantime lets ‘Strive for 65’!
