My minor obsession with finance began about two years after I graduated college living in Hoboken, NJ. I found myself in over my head with $12,000 of credit card debt from one too many nights out.
Over the years that followed I used skills from my day job as a Purchasing Manager and pinched pennies to work my way to being debt-free. Since then I have dedicated much of my free time developing skills to successfully invest in the markets and continue learning about the world of finance.
This blog is dedicated to helping you make wise financial decisions to keep your finances out of the ER.
What is the Nickel and Dime Decade?
Nickels and Dimes
In the realm of Purchasing Managers, saving a few cents on high volume materials can save a company millions. This blogs name comes from the idea that saving in small increments, along with making smart long term investments, can lead to financial wellness.
Personal Finance
Making smart financial decisions isn’t always easy or even obvious. The Personal Finance section is dedicated to helping point you in the right direction. Articles I write on personal finance vary from providing tips to save a few bucks on groceries to analyzing data for readers to get the most value out of your “new to your” car.
Investing
Investing truly is the land of opportunity. Making smart investment decisions can eventually lead to a type of freedom a 9-5 can’t offer. I’m not a CFP, and I can’t advise on the next best stock pick, but I can provide guidance so you can find that out for yourself.
