I started this blog in 2006 to help keep track of finances and share the things I learned, by reading other financial blogs and websites. I pay off my credit card every month, pay a mortgage, own a car, and have no school loans (right now). I'm always trying to think of ways to increase my earning potential, and accelerate my wealth accumulation. My goal is to save 1 million dollars for retirement which is a very attainable goal, considering I'm socking away 15% of my salary each year into a 401K. I hope to save enough money to be able to support myself on interest and dividends. I recently started dabbling in stocks with mixed results, but hope to improve my skills to take myself off the treadmill and onto a yacht. I plan to start a 10 different companies. My goal is to create at least one hugely successful business, which I could then sell or take public.
