Welcome
Welcome to my finance and lifestyle blog. This site is dedicated to help know what questions to ask and what steps to take (or ideas) to build wealth. I created this blog based on many of my personal experiences amongst family, friends and acquaintances. By observing their experiences, and some being my own, I have realized that not everyone has a finance professional to help them. This isn’t intended to be a cut and paste, or one size fits all system, these are ideas to suit your needs.
Why Me?
No, you are not the only one asking. I also asked myself, out loud and overheard by my wife, she replied, “Because of you.” My wife, a wonderful supporter, had meant that there are many finance bloggers out there, however, my personality, my approach, and I may resonate with someone that someone else couldn’t. So why me? Because I could help one person that no one else could. If I help that one person, then I am grateful to have started this endeavor.
So, who am I?
I am J.J., a family man with four kids. Yes four. We went for a girl once and found out that the odds don’t reset. Moving around for work throughout the last two decades, we are accustomed to a nomadic lifestyle and are eager to finally set roots. I originally went to school for Mechanical Engineering and had such a great time that I got to do it a second time. Finally, back to school I graduated with a B.S. in Mechanical Engineering.
So why Finance?
I found that I was good at engineering, but was passionate about finance. After a series of missteps, I gained my footing and made positive progress on my family’s net worth ever since. I have taken personal finance courses, and am currently completing my MBA in finance. My next pursuits will be to pursue other certifications in finance.
So, this is where I wanted to communicate ideas on finance to help prevent others make mistakes that I have and others have made. This is where I want to build a community that gets wealthy together. Why be wealthy on the beach by yourself, that’s lonely (or an introvert’s dream).
So, join me, set goals, and achieve them.
