Hello all. I'm 28 and living in Melbourne, Australia.

I decided to do a mid-20s career change and completed my new qualification at the end of 2010. I'm currently building my skills in a job I enjoy and putting as much money as I can away for the impending purchase of my first home.

The plan is to buy a place in the first half of 2012, pay it off as quickly as possible, learn more about investing and stay free of consumer debt.

I'm all about small pleasures, home cooking, thrift shopping, voluntary simplicity and cheap fun.

Reading everyone's stories has been incredibly inspiring so far and I want to keep learning and stay passionate about achieving my financial goals.

[b][/b]Hi everyone,

How exciting--my first post! I live in a small coastal North Carolina village, used to live in the San Francisco Bay area--quite a change. My passions are the outdoors--whether woods or ocean--and living simply. And books, books, and more books! I've been a writer most of my life for magazines, blogs, ad copy, and anthologies, and just published my first novel, an e-book on Amazon. Quite a thrill. Looking forward to sharing and learning with you.

Greetings! New to the forums though I've been familiar with the GRS blog for some time. Still working on correcting past financial mistakes, unfortunately, but hoping to find good advice and encouragement here...

I was a lurker and occasional commenter for a few years while I was unemployed, but I have a job now and have money to save so I am able to join the conversation. I have learned a great deal so far and I look forward to one day being free of debt. Reading this site has given me the courage to no longer be in denial about my relationship with money. Thanks JD...and the rest of you folks too!
