About Me
I decided to create this blog one day while browsing the finance section at Borders. I was looking from book to book, and they were all people who already had a lot of money. They were full of strategies and techniques, for certain. Still, some of them read more like promotional brochures than good hard advice. On top of that, I know enough psychology to know that life always seems better and easier in retrospect. What I wanted was more of a travelogue. I wanted something that I could relate to, and sadly there was nothing. I have nothing against big names like Warren Buffet, Dave Ramsey, Suze Orman, David Bach, Phil Town, or the numerous other articulate and successful writers that are on those shelves. I just wanted something different.
So, who am I? Well, I'm Rick, or at least that's my name. I grew up in Chicago, went to college, graduated, got a job, worked hard, went to graduate school, graduated, got a job, worked hard... You get the picture. At some point, I found myself in my early 30's with two degrees, working like crazy, and just making it. I don't live extravagantly or anything like that. Still, I was feeling unfulfilled and like I was falling short financially and personally.
People consider me fairly smart, but I'm certainly not a member of MENSA. Smarts, however, aren't required to be rich. I know people who are brilliant, but poor, as well as those who are not so bright, but very wealthy. In many ways, I think I'm a pretty average guy. I've just made a decision to move from ordinary to extra-ordinary. This blog is part my journey.
