A little about me.
Hi there, I’m Sofi!
I decided to start this blog to share my financial journey and everything I’ve learned about budgeting, saving money and affording to travel along the way.
Soon after graduating college I moved away from home to the Bay Area for an accounting job. I thought I had taken all the right steps in my career, but after a few questionable monetary decisions on my part, I kept finding all my paychecks disappearing.
As someone who overthinks fairly easily (or extremely easily), I very quickly started worrying I wasn’t saving enough and wasn’t preparing myself for the future.
I wanted to be able to travel and live a fulfilling life without compromising saving for retirement and being prepared for emergencies. But I didn’t know how that was possible when everything seemed so expensive.
Determined to not settle, I started reading everything I could about personal finance, saving money, tracking expenses, budgeting and becoming truly financially independent.
I started realizing how easily we spend money. How encouraged we are to buy new products with the hopes the shiny new toy would bring us happiness.
I don’t have all the answers, but after reevaluating my priorities and making some lifestyle changes I feel way less overwhelmed.
I travel, often, and have the experiences I want to have while still having a fully stocked emergency fund, maxing out my Roth IRA every year, contributing to my 401(k) and individual trading account AND saving for a down payment.
This isn’t because I’m rich or have a six figure salary. It’s because I’ve realized what is important to me. I hope to help you figure out what is important for YOU too.
Let’s get rich together! 😉
