HI I am JB...

Im a Leo...early 20's.....graduated from Sunny california last year with a BA in Communications studies. At the same time I got my real estate license and life license. I currently work for a financial firm which is dedicated to teaching people simple financial concepts that will help them put their money to work more effectively and move them toward achieving their financial goals. I'm learning a whole lotta and educating myself constantly.... and love what I am doing...as well as having fun when I can at my age.

Peace

Hello. I found this site mentioned in Money magazine. I am always looking for financial advice, I have really been reading a lot about personal finance the past couple of years. I look forward to learning more from this site!

Hi everyone! I'm new to this site. I'm working on improving my FICO scores, saving moola, and learning to budget (and by budget I mean actually sticking to it!!) Just thought I'd introduce myself, since I'm doing a little lurking....

Oh, is there a way to put a ticker on this site?

Good golly, I hope the answer is no ... 'course, I guess the answer then is to turn Sigs off.

Welcome everyone.

Hey Jeffrey, is there a reason this isn't sticky anymore?

Bump - Jeffrey, is this purposely being allowed to drift down and not be sticky anymore?

Default Introduction

Hi! I would like to introduce myself. I have been reading posts on this site for several years. I joined in January ’07, and I am finally getting around to posting my intro!
My name is Sherolyn, and I am 47. I am married to John (celebrated 27 years this past Valentine’s Day), and we have seven children – 24, 23, 19, 18, 16, 14, and 9. The youngest five live at home. We are a homeschooling family. I love being frugal and like to read the posts on this site to stay focused (or get me back on track when needed)! I have lots of frugal things I can share and hopefully will take the time to do that with all of you!

Hello! I'm 25 and I live in Oregon. I've been here for a few months; before that I was in NM (while my boyfriend finished grad school) and before that I was in NY (which is where I spent most of my life). I'm looking forward to staying put in one state (and what a pretty state it is to be in) and saving money. I'd like to get a retirement fund going through my new HSA, maybe flip a few houses one day, and stop living from paycheck to paycheck (although I am debt free, and that's a big step). There are some extraneous circumstances in my family right now that make saving money an interesting challenge, but life is full of surprises one way or another, I suppose!
