About
I'm a 20-something year old who got out of $60,000 of debt in 18 months, earning $65,000 (gross) a year.
This is more of a lifestyle blog with hint of money talk, like a moneythropologist.
You can read more about me here in The FB Story, check out my favourite posts or you can send me a note if you have questions (please be nice).
