Well I just wanted to start this little blog off with a short introduction, list some of my goals and aspirations and explain really quickly why in world would I even bother trying to blog in the first place.
First and foremost - let's get the nitty gritty out of the way. I am by no means a financial expert, in fact I am probably about as far away as you can be from one. I am simply an average every day guy trying to get a handle on his money.
Yes for most of my life money has been well, not properly managed. How's that for the best way to describe it. Whenever I had money, I've always been the kind of "it's burning a hole in my pocket" kind of guy. Spend, spend, spend it away.
Well now I am in my mid 40's and the idea of retirement and a lifetime of bad habits has caused me to re-think what the hell I am doing.
So the whole purpose behind this blog is mainly for myself. To keep me motivated, help me save and keep things in track. Plus, if I am lucky I'll be able to show how an average Joe Blow can turn his money life around and show some profit for it.
Stay tuned in the next few days I hope to show you where I am starting from, what I have achieved so far and my goals for the balance of 2015 and beyond.
May your dividend cheques ever be in your favour.
