It's Blogging Time

First Post

Welcome to Chitowngirl’s blog!

I will use this blog to track my goals of becoming debt free and financially secure. I am somewhat obsessed about finances and have been for years. I currently track my finances with various excel spreadsheets but this blog will be another way for me to document my progress to “Financial Freedom.” Boy do I have a long way to go.

A little about me:

I am a 20-something female that currently resides in Chicago.
I am a full-time worker in the banking industry and part-time law student.
I work every single day to curb unnecessary spending.
I have a very negative net worth but a positive outlook on the future.

I’ve been reading personal financial blogs for a few months and decided to start my own. I was hesitant at first to begin this blog because I thought it might be too premature. I stand to incur additional debt as I complete my final year of school. But on second thought, I believe that this blog will help me to improve my spending habits as I try to stabilize and enhance my net worth.

I will post my financial breakdown soon and/or try to link up to NetworthIQ. I appreciate any and all comments. Thank you in advance for taking the time to read about my financial mess.
