About
Who am I?
I’m a 24 year old campaign and non-profit professional who found himself getting progressively further into debt after working two campaigns and graduating college in 2008. I also came to realization that the 14+ hour days of campaigns and the 9-5 paradigm of American corporate culture isn’t for me. I value my free time and independence too much to make my job my life (in the case of campaigns), and want a slower paced and stress free life. My biggest values are self reliance, working smarter (not harder) to get ahead, and having the financial independence to lead the life that I desire. Right now, as I try to save money by not eating dinner out 7 days a week, or going out and spending $20-30 a night on drinks with people, I’m putting my free time to use by being productive with this blog.
What is this blog about?
