Hello World

February 21st, 2010 at 06:32 pm

Just a first hello world! I am a graduate student who is newly married to an early career teacher. We have been good savers so far with a 6 month Emergency Savings account and $10,000 in our Downpayment Fund. We currently live in Southern California so this is nowhere near enough money for a house. We hope to buy one when I graduate.

I will be writing here some ideas I have about saving and our experiences with trying to meet some lofty savings goals.

    Hello backatcha from "the world." Funny, at first I thought you said you were newly married to an early tech career. I thought you were saying you were really dedicated to a new job. Anyhow, welcome.

    Hello World back from Seattle. The world looks a whole lot different with 10K in savings! Since you are a grad student and you can't predict where you will end up in academia, a mortgage is the last thing you'll need.
