I am 30 and don't have a dime to my name. This purpose of this blog is to keep track of my progress as I try to turn my financial life around.

New Followers
I have two new followers. Solargalaxy6 and Green i$ Black. Welcome to my blog. Hopefully this new year will see all of us meet and exceed our financial goals.
thanks for the welcome! I'm enjoying your posts :) Good job shopping at Costco, I'm debating a membership myself. On one side, it seems like a great way to save on many of my grocery-store items, but on the other, do I really need 80 Eggos in one shot? I'm finding it easier to scour the store for 2-for-1 deals and specials. I'm going to keep doing that for now, but when it gets warmer in NYC, I might take a day to walk over and see what I can get!
GreenI$Black, if you can find someone to split the membership fee with Costco (or Sam's or BJ's) can be a real money saver if you buy things that you needed anyway.
Ex. A box of 16 Eggos cost $3.69 at the supermarket. I would have to buy 5 boxes to get 64 at a cost of $14.76 almost double what I paid. The same can be said for printer paper, printer ink, books, DVD's, even cars. They also have a food court that sells the best pizza for $2 per slice.
I am 30 and don't have a dime to my name. It is a sad thing to not be able to take trips, go shopping, have fun of any kind due to having no extra money. This blog will aid me in my journey to financial freedom.
