• What financial topic do you enjoy blogging about?

I enjoy blogging about personal finance and the effects that our government and federal reserve have on destroying our savings and make it so hard to be financially free through taxation and inflation.

• Do your personal experiences play a key part in your blogs?

My experiences are everything to my blog, I considerate it as my online diary of my thoughts, ideas and beliefs with personal finances and politics. I post about what I am thinking with my money, I keep a tight record of my net worth, budget, investments every month. Without those experiences I wouldn’t have a blog.

• What is some financial advice you could give to our readers?

Know where your money goes every day/week/month with a budget. As soon as you know where it goes, you start to realize that you cut here and there and next thing you know you have saved money. Once you have learned to budget your money then learn how to make your money start to work for you, by investing it. Finally and most important, know what the government is doing because it will ultimately effect your freedom. One of the best pieces of advice would be to read Atlas Shrugged by Ayn Rand to see the overall bigger picture.
