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.

Presentation on benefits of starting to invest at a senior in high school!

Hi everyone! I’ve been wanting to post a presentation/powerpoint slide deck on my blog that I put together that I am going to present to high school seniors in the area on the benefits of starting to invest early to take advantage of compound interest over the long term.

However, the settings on the site won’t allow me to upload an entire presentation.

If you are interested in seeing the presentation (or even better, dessiminating the information to teenagers), please email a request at jazzdog059@aol.com!

Talk to you soon!
