A lil about myself.

I decided to share here a little bit about myself and how I got into this crazy world of finance.
I was born and raised in a third world country and always been careful about money. Coming to this country I realized that everything was material and people bought more than they needed and could afford. I made many personal and financial mistakes since I left my parents house. I got my first car at the age of 18 and it cost me $300 bucks that car lasted me almost 2 years. I wish I knew more about cars then so I could have taken better care of it and I would still have it. I live in a modest rented apartment with my husband and my son and we plan to save enough to buy a house of our own. Right now we are both working on getting rid of our debts so we can achieve our main goal. We plan well through out the year so we can vacations and enjoy life. I am the responsible adult in the relationship therefore I am the one always reminding about our financial situation and goals. Living in a poor country taught me to be a better person, to find other means to entertain myself instead of depending on money. We walk, visit parks, beaches and everything that is free or low cost. I dont need fancy bags or brand names. I am happy with hands me down and giving back to society what no longer interest me or my family. I hope that with this blog others see what I see. We can all live with less and be happy about it.
