How did we get here?! Also where are we going?

Here is some background on me, and why I decided to start a financial blog.

-I recently graduated college with 33k in debt, finishing in four years (and one quarter) with a B.A. in Biology, and a B.A. in U.S. History.

-I was hired for a contract biologist position 6 months after finishing school and have begun the long journey of paying off my student loans.

-My parents have graciously allowed me to live at home until I can save up enough money for a down payment for a small house (I hate renting but more of that to follow).

-I have a negative net worth currently, but still have managed to save about 17k in a stock brokerage account which I have been growing since beginning college.

This page is going to be my journey to Financial Freedom. I'm going to document what I'm doing to show my future self what worked and didn't work. I'll talk stocks, real estate, and my struggle with finances through my years. I've never blogged before but this seems useful, and I hope I can teach others as well as learn from others. I currently run a stock Tiktok with 1.2k followers, that will continue to grow as well as the blog. Happy 2022, and here's to financial blessings to everyone!
