I’m Grad Girl, often known as GG, a 20-something Chicagoan with a graduate degree. I am a Christian, passionate about applying Biblical truth to my everyday decisions, including the ones that impact my wallet. And I am a writer, both by trade and by hobby. I like cooking, travel, good books, interesting conversation and vintage real estate. Here, I tell the PF world about it.
What do I do for a living?
I work as a writer and editor in corporate America. I like what I do, so I think I’m blessed.
What do I know about money?
I know there are ways to manipulate it, I know there are ways to use it, I know I can always do better with it. My financial training stems mainly from a very wise set of parents, who set an excellent example of giving, saving and spending carefully.
Why do I PF blog?
I’m in it for the personal side. Reading individual stories, complete with problems and victories, fascinates me. I’ve also found the PF blogging community a very friendly, easy-to-enter one. I hope to stick around for quite a while.
What am I doing right now, financially speaking?
Currently, I live rent-free with my parents (well, technically speaking. My dad and I worked out a deal.), so I am able to save huge chunks of my income—as much as 50%. I am actively investing through a Scottrade account—in both my regular and my Roth IRA stock portfolios.
What are my future goals?
I keep track of them in the sidebar and explain them here.
Where else am I online?
Look for me on Stumble Upon, and you’ll see what sites I’m surfing.
I also have a Technorati page, and I love to Twitter.
