Managing finances

Hello and welcome to my blog. 

It is my intention through this blog to share with you strategies and tips on how I manage my personal finances, while at times I may be specific about how I go about doing so, please bear in mind that everyone's circumstances are different and that I am not a financial advisor. Ideally, you should speak with a professional financial advisor about you particular situation. The intent is to plant the seed of an idea in your mind so that you can give it some thought and possibly talk to your financial advisor about it.

Many people consider finance to be some abstract thing related to "Wall Street" or the "Financial Markets". But the truth is we all live in a world that is metaphorically a financial web around us, and we need to be able to understand how to navigate this web so that we can go about our daily lives. 

Going forward I shall be touching on some of these topics that have an impact on my daily life. Being an immigrant I had to develop an understanding of things such as Social Security, Medicare, workplace health plans and taxes. I was of the opinion that everyone knew about these things, but sadly I was mistaken. thus the need for this blog to share my understanding of matters of a financial nature by which I am surrounded.
