What makes me happy....

I try not to post more than once a day, but I just have to say that whenever I read blogs about saving money by anyone 25 and under, it brings a smile to my face -- especially when I see 17 and 18 year olds starting Roth IRAs and working so hard to reach their financial goals. These folks have it figured out. Too bad I didn't at that age....

I totally agree, wish I could do it over again. It is exciting reading their progress

I agree with Amber, I wish I had started sooner. At the very least, I didn't end up with credit card debt, but I do have student loans to deal with. It always excites me to see people younger than me starting life out right.
