This book a journal of those personal experiences and the lessons learned. After reading a multitude of economic, financial, and professional books on investing, insurance, budgets, saving, and retirement, I realized nobody was showing the reality or results of what really may happen in life. This book is written to entertain and share ideas and information of what I found to be the best and worst of that advice. It is my story of how I began my financial journey and the lessons I have learned during that journey.
