I'm not gonna lie, I'm nowhere near an expert at finance. In fact, I never saw myself being interested in this sort of thing- I'm an actor! But being a young twenty something in a big city like Los Angeles makes you realize, hmmmmm....you have to do things for yourself. Part of doing things for yourself is managing that little green monster called MONEY. Most people in my field don't even start thinking about things like IRA's, investing or saving until they're in their thirties. Even then, they may not know how best to utilize their income.
I've had the excellent opportunity to work under an ex-IRS financial planner as his receptionist. I've completed an H n R Block Tax Course for personal returns and I've started reading Personal Finance For Dummies and Investing For Dummies, both by Eric Tyson, M.B.A. (Which means he has a Master's Degree in Business Administration). I'll probably be referring to Tyson a lot in this blog, as his concepts are very easy to understand and make perfect sense.
So I thought, as I learn- why not share these basic concepts with my peers, family and friends. After all, money DOES NOT BUY HAPPINESS, but it is something that when organized, can bring you a more secure life. You'll eventually be able to buy that vacation home in Vermont, to take that cruise to Jamaica, to retire in your own private paradise- or simply to better pursue your dreams in life!
Now that I've talked a little about me: if you readers have any questions, I'll do my best to answer them! I may not post daily, but I'll be on this blog often, so ask away!
