This is my story.

Hello world. I am currently 23 years old and graduated with a degree in Electrical Engineering in May 2006. I am currently working in the Delaware Valley trying to discover what I love to do and where I want to go. This is my story in my efforts to bring myself from being one step behind, to being one step (or ten steps!) ahead of my peers. Since becoming (relatively) financially indepedent from my parents, I have been trying to optimize my personal finances. I have became a big fan of http://www.pfblog.com/, http://www.mymoneyblog.com/, and recently, http://www.iwillteachyoutoberich.com/.

Let me provide some background about myself and what I aspire to do with this blog. I come from a middle upper class family and have lived in California, Asia, the Midwest, and now, the Delaware Valley area. I have been surrounded by peers whose families have been made rich by the dot-com revolution as well as traditional wealthy families that own their own businesses. My point is, I have always felt a step behind financially compared to my peers. However, with this blog I hope to log my journey in becoming financially fit, as well as providing the audience several tips I learn along the way.

Please post any comments, suggestions, or questions that you may have. I will try my best to answer all of them.

In the next few weeks I want to discuss my Roth IRA, 401k, and personal taxable account. I know I'm way behind to the blogging scene but I promise to provide something new.

Enjoy.
