We are college roommates turned best friends. In college our greatest concerns were getting through classes and convincing guys they were crazy to propose after dating us for 2 weeks. Sure we wanted the fairytale, but we wanted to be wise when we made those decisions. Unfortunately, the trap of giving up early marriage and holding onto late marriage expectations means that our financial present and futures are in our own two hands.
Taxes and spring cleaning led us to discussions about where we want to be in our finances and how we each plan to get there. Our circumstances are very different, as are our perspectives, but there are principles on which we both agree. There are a lot of financial planning guides that take into account children and families. But living alone while trying to keep a social life to get to that happily ever after point has financial challenges of its own. We thought a dual authorship approach may open up a helpful window into those specific challenges.
Here's a little about us!
Tara: Native Texan living in Utah, loves a good workout, golf, the beach, and tending to everyone in her path. She has an MBA and a BS in Public Health and currently is a Marketing Manager for an international electronics company.
Maggie: Native Jersey girl living in Jersey, enjoys photography, travel, golf, and the shore. Her degree is in progress as she is often side tracked with career moves. She currently works in New York City in the entertainment industry.
