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

in #blockchain8 years ago

Excellent to hear. I guess I was just thinking about the drinking tour of the Japanese dive bar district. hahah! It's funny how our online sharing only gives very small glimpses into who we are. Glad you got out of a bad work situation, and you've got some things lined up. I hope the interview goes well.

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.
