My Personal Finance Journey

Hello and Welcome!

My name is Jacob, a husband to a wine-blogger wife, father to two bouncy-boy toddlers, and I'm the owner/author of My Personal Finance Journey. By day, I am a scientist working in bio-pharmaceutical development. Personal finance has been my hobby since 2007 when I started teaching myself through books (that finance B.S. degree didn't teach me much!). Learning how to save, adopt a frugal mindset, and invest my own money soundly has allowed me to have a savings rate > 50%, increase my net worth by > 20 times, grow my career, and always do what I love. Check out the About Me page to learn more!

My Personal Finance Journey Homepage

Recently, while reading an article by Bucksome Boomer about her experiences at the Savvy Blogging Summit Conference in Breckenridege, CO (I know what you’re thinking – what a sweet place to have a conference!), I came across a recommendation that she took away from the conference that was to make a “first timers,” or “start page” on your blog to make it more accessible for newcomers surfing the web.
I thought this was a great idea, and today, I put together a first pass try at the start page.
The page can be accessed at any time from the link at the top of the page. I have also copied the link below.
Click on the link and give it a try!

Is there anything else that should be included that I might have overlooked? Let me know by commenting below!
