I realized that my original “About Me” page is from 2005, so I should probably post an update, seeing as I changed my old blog from a “how to survive MIT” blog to a personal finance blog of sorts.
I’m an MIT alum, living in the greater Boston area. I started reading personal finance blogs earlier in 2007 because I realized I still had a lot to learn. I’ve read a few books about personal finance, and more websites that I can count. I’m trying to balance having an emergency fund, 401(k), Roth IRA, and student loans while still enjoying the life of a young Boston-area professional.
This blog is a work in progress, and I think it will continue to have more themes than just personal finance. I welcome questions and comments, both through email and the comment form. I also have ING referrals (checking and savings) available if you’re looking to open an account and earn $25 for free. Email me for those, as well.
I hope you enjoy my blog!
p.s. I’m always curious about how people find my blog…so please leave a comment letting me know what sort of information you were looking for, or what directed you to my blog. You can comment here or on the specific post. Also let me know if you found the information you were looking for here. Or if my posts are lacking information, or contain wrong information. I’m always looking to improve, and want my site to be useful and helpful!
Hi, I’m a physics italian student’s and I’ve just found your blog searching with google “Karl Iagnemma”. I’m reading his book “On nature of homan romantic interaction” (the italian translation) and I’m founding it enjoyable. It’s not every day you hear of a research scientist who also writes fiction…
You have an interesting blog!
Greetings from Italy

I found your blog when you left a comment on mine!
I found your blog searching for contact information for Kelly of El Gato Negro in San Juan del Sur. I’ve been to Nica three times and giving serious thought to living there.
Hi,
I actually found your blog after googling “novel after college.” I’m finishing school in 2 weeks and was looking for something to read that might speak to me. This’ll do, I think!
It’s been over a year since I left school and it’s been hard adjusting to the “real world.” I stumbled across your blog randomly and have to say it’s very interesting. I look forward to the next entry.
I found your blog when you left me the website. I think I am going to rejoin the blogging community. Thanks, Steph!
Hi! I found your blog through Forest on Finance and have added you to my reader. I love PF-blogging, and I really love Boston.
Excited to have found ya!
I found this blog at finwikian.com
Hi, I found this blog because I typed in “laid off finance.” I’m writing a story about a new trend of younger people being laid off just as easily as more senior-level employees. If you fit this category (It looks like you have a recent post about being laid off, though I can’t tell at what level you would have been) feel free to email me if you’d like to chat. thx!
I found your blog after googling “life after college”, and I think it’s great! You should check out my blog – http://www.ignighter.com/blog
Hi! I stumbled onto your PF blog and enjoy what you have to say! I also used to live in Boston, so I like hearing about your local experiences
After regularly reading your blog and others’, I’ve decided that I feel left out, so I’ve started my own (gimmefivebucks.blogspot.com). It might take me a little while to get up and running, but do you mind if I share a link to your blog?
Happy blogging!
I launched a challenge marketing program called “What are you saving for?” at my credit union earlier this year. Accordingly, I set up google reader to alert me each time that phrase is used in a blog post.
Glad that process has led me to your blog, I have enjoyed what I have read.
I found your blog searching for info on the NutriSum program that my employer is offering.
Great blog! Keep up the good work
I love your site!

Hey I just found your blog from Twitter and I love it. I’ll add you to my site and look forward to reading more about your adventures in Boston!
Hi! I found your blog when I was doing some research on employee health programs. I was interested in the post you wrote when your company offered (and you tried) NutriSum. I’m curious as to if you’ve stuck with it since January and whether or not it has been helpful. I coordinate wellness programs for a Trust fund in Western Washington.
I actually found your blog a while ago when one of the websites ranked personal finance bloggers on twitter. Can’t even remember now cos it was about 1 month ago.
Keep up the good work.
I found your site after going through WiseBread’s list of personal finance blogs by women. I decided to go through the list to find which one’s were still active so I could post the active list on my site. Great site. Keep up the excellent work!
