My personal finance story was recently profiled in the article “Financial Struggles During College Taught Stephanie About Saving” in Debt.com’s Very Personal Finance series. I really enjoyed being interviewed by Brian Bienkowski for this piece. He was very interested in what happened early on in my money journey, so it was a trip down memory lane for me.

If you’re just joining us here at Poorer Than You from the Debt.com profile, welcome! You’ve had a pretty good introduction to the beginning of my story from the article. Now, here’s some more in-depth posts for you to sink your teeth into:

• The full story of why I left school at the end of 2006
• And why I went back to school in late 2007
• The insane spreadsheet and other tricks I used to pay off my credit card debt
• My super-eventful move from the New York Finger Lakes to Northern Virginia
• That one time that I sold my hair on eBay for fun and for profit
• All the nitty-gritty (financial) details of my pregnancy on Obamacare
• More than 11 years of monthly Net Worth updates, starting from the beginning

And because I loved my trip down memory lane so much, I invite you to take your own in the comments below! How did you get started on your financial journey?
