Maybe this time it will stick?

Hi, my name is Bree and I am a former blogger who is hoping to return to the scene once again.

I used to have a personal finance blog called Fiscal Responsibility back in the day and fell off the bandwagon while I was in business school.  I have thought about returning to the blogging world off and on, and have tried on and off.  I am trying again, hoping I will gain the momentum this time to keep the blog running.

I have changed a bit since the days of Fiscal Responsibility and it seems only logical to also change the direction of my writing.  Fiscal Responsibility was focused on all things money.  I seem to be very one-track minded and, although that is great at helping me achieve goals, it seems to hinder me from achieving a balanced life by focusing on few key areas, which I hope to identify in the next few weeks.  One of the few things I do know now is this will not become a how-to blog -- this blog is intended to share my journey with others, not to give advice.  I am not a specialist in any of the areas most likely to be covered by this blog and I think it's important to remember that every situation and everyone's risk tolerance is different.

A little bit about me... I live in Chicago (hence the name of the blog) with my husband, Scott, and fur-child, Karma, in a condo in the city. I work as a management consultant at a consulting start up, which has the potential to take me across the country and sometimes across the world. We have some debt -- some consumer loans but majority being student loans. We have a mortgage on our condo but we currently do not consider that as "debt" in our minds. We come from different money backgrounds so it has been a struggle to come to an agreement on money management, but we are getting there.

I will leave it at that for now.  If you are visiting, please stop and leave me a comment.  I would love to hear from you and any feedback you may have. Cheers!
