My humble intro post

Hey, forum. My name is Jason Bruton and I go by the username IngeniousBastard. I'm hoping to learn a thing or two and teach a thing or two while here on the forum

I was in the financial industry for many years. This has given me access to some useful knowledge that I couple with my own personal experience to develop my own unique opinions on matters of finance and helping people learn how to "stick it to the man". I am super passionate about helping others, so I hope I can do just that.

Anyway, thanks for reading. See you in the forums!

Hi, my name is Jason Spencer and I am the owner/operator for J. Spence Financial. I came across this website and thought it would be great to converse with people who have the same ideas and passions that I do. A little more about me, I live in sunny San Diego, CA, but I'm originally from the great state of Kansas. Now you know why I moved! Anyways, I hope to meet a lot of you and see ya around the forum...

New Here

Not sure if I am posting in the right place or not. I'm a Dave Ramsey follower and have been working to get out of debt for a while. I'm hoping to be there by sometime next year.

Welcome. Just a note to say that you'll find many of us on the board here disagreeing with some of Ramsey's suggestions/tenets.

[Mr Nice Guy]

Howdy. Lots of good info here. Stick around.

Way to alienate the newb.

Welcome to the board and I don't agree with what Slug said. Though we all have our own methods and stories of how we became (or are becoming) debt free, this is a great community and I hope we'll see you back often!

[creditcardfree]

Welcome! Any method you chose to move your finances in a positive direction is awesome in my book. We'd love to here more about your story.

[SammyA]

Newbie here!

I am Samantha Anderson! I am currently taking my vacation for 2 months and its my first time to register at your forum. I love writing blogs and journal at some blogspot site when I have my free time. I find it very interesting and enjoying because aside from the fact that I usually meet people online, I am very much fond of reading news. Well then, thanks for letting me here! Hope to chat with you guys soon!
