Quick Intro: My purpose is to give good advice but who am I?
About me: Male, early 30s, 2 kids, wife. Day job is finance controller at tech company. Education, BA, MS, MBA. So at least on the surface, I'm not a homeless bum. So that being said, I've got finance and corporate experience as well as the daily challenges of raising a family. Time is important so I'm not going to advise you on things that only 22 yr olds have the time and energy for.
My main purpose here is to install common sense in people from a money and really overall life decision making. What's $10 or $100 in the long run? Answer: a lot! The advice we give will weigh the cost benefit. If you need something in an emergency, sure you pay more for that. But the demonstrated value is there. But say you need a gallon of milk every week but instead of going to the grocery store or costco you pay an extra $2 to get it at 7-11. Not smart. Same milk excepted you just wasted $2. Just imagine you buying the same thing as the person in front of you except he pays less. How does that make you feel? I takes a step to climb a mountain. Same with money. One time savings won't get you much. But it's the habit of saving a little bit everytime so in the future, you will have alot more.
The main focus will be on money of course and answering financial questions and debunking financial myths. I've been thru alot of things and probably have answer. But if not, someone on the forum will. A smart guy will learn from his mistakes. A smarter guy will learn from others' mistakes.
and yes questions are welcome.
