RE: Why I am Diving into Computer Programming at Age 32, as a Complete Newb.

in #blockchain8 years ago

Right! I had a YouTube viewer ask me if all I do is walk around and drink beer all day. Lol. That said, I certainly have not been the wisest person in regard to finance up until this point. People like yourself are important for me to see, because I never really had a model of stability and how important fiscal responsibility was. I often think how we handle money is a reflection of our self-image, but that is a topic for another post!! I should definitely write a review of the course.

That's a really interesting concept. My parents didn't handle money well at all so I grew up with the same bad habits. @corinnestokes had a different experience and she's taught me a lot. Together we went to a Dave Ramsey event years ago and then I ended up working there for almost 4 years. I learned a ton. His baby steps idea is definitely worth doing. We paid off $80k in two years which is crazy. We're in a really good place now and it's only getting better.
