I’m a 27-year-old writer living and working in Chicago. I became financially aware after reading Robert Kiyosaki’s book, Rich Dad, Poor Dad. While Kiyosaki himself can be kind of controversial, I still think his book has done a lot to wake people up from the stupor most of us are in when it comes to handling and investing our money.
I started this site as a place to express myself and to learn more about personal finance, investing, blogging, and writing. The whole idea is to learn more and more while making some alternative income too. I’m also a huge fan of Warren Buffett and his investment philosophy, as well as Peter Lynch and his great book One Up On Wall Street.
As far as investing, I’m a huge fan of index funds and I think beginners should embrace them too—they are a great way to participate in the market without having to learn too much or worry excessively.
I love to write and hopefully I’ll have more to show than just a stack of rejection slips.
Feel free to email me at thewriter [at] thewriterscoin.com and comment as much as you can, discussion is the best way to learn new things.
By the way, the picture at the top is one I took at the Reflecting Pool in Washington, DC.
