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!

Welcome Free From Broke readers! Thanks so much for stopping by my site by way of the my guest post today over at Glen’s blog listed below. I’m very happy to have you here! 🙂
What is the Most Efficient Way to Use Dollar Cost Averaging?
If you’re stopping by my site for the first time, I just wanted to give a little guide towards what I offer here, since information overload can occur quickly and time is our most valuable asset.
To introduce myself, my name is Jacob. I started this site back in January of 2010, and since then, have poured my heart and soul in to the site to produce a product I am proud of and I think adds value to the world. You can read a little more on my background and even see a picture of me on the “About” or “First-Time Visitor” pages to find out more about us.
In short, I like to offer actionable personal finance advice with the goal of achieving long-term success.
Specifically, I really enjoy writing about the following areas (I’ve also listed several posts related to each topic in case you’re interested in reading more):
Additionally, if you liked the theme/topic (investing strategy analysis) of the guest post I wrote for Free From Broke today and are interested in similar posts I’ve written in the past, you might want to check out the ones below:
Also, each month, I give away 10% of any income I make from this site, with 5% going to blog readers and the other 5% going to a charity selected by the grand prize winner. You can read about all of the details by clicking here.
So far, we’ve given away:
During the August 10% give back, we gave away a total of $120 – with $60 going to a blog reader, and the other $60 going to benefit the charity, Meals on Wheels.
Thanks for visiting! Keep on learning!
