Hi everyone, I’m Brian Benedict, and welcome to my blog!

Here’s a little about me: I’m 25 years old, born and raised in New Jersey. I graduated from Rutgers Business School and now work a 9-to-5 job as an accountant.

I started this blog with the initial intention of teaching people about personal finance. If you read my first couple of blog posts, you can clearly see that this was my intention. But the truth is, I’ve never been great at managing my own money. I’ve had poor spending habits in the past, struggled to save, and struggled to map out a clear vision of what I want financially. Although this blog started with the desire to teach others, it has slowly become a space where I document my own journey through personal finance. It’s a space where I share what I learn, what has worked for me, and the obstacles I encounter along the way. I’m going to do my best to keep it as real as I can. It’s not easy to share your personal financial position and habits—it’s a touchy subject in society. But I’ll do my best. I’m sure this blog will continue to evolve over time, but my goal is that anyone who stumbles upon it can take something valuable from it.

Thanks for stopping by! I hope you’ll follow along as I continue learning and growing in my personal finance journey. Feel free to share your thoughts or ask questions—I’d love to hear from you!
