Hi. I’m Mel. I’m a thirty something stage manager just trying to keep my bills paid and see the world. When I started this blog, I had no idea what I was doing with my money. I realize I’m pretty lucky. I had a tiny bit left to pay off on a school loan, no real credit card debt, a full time job and no big bills. So I had a little extra cash… and no idea what you do with it. This is my journey to suck at investing a little less. Because I’m scared of retiring to a cardboard box under an overpass in 40 years. And maybe I might want to buy a house in the next 5 years. And I would like to be financially prepared to be able to do that, too. This blog is really just the story of a girl with a stage management degree, trying to not starve to death.
