Well, I have finally taken the plunge. Lately I've been reading a lot of different PF blogs and have become inspired to start my own. This is a place where I can keep track of my both my financial and personal goals (and hopefully get some support along the way).
Hmm a little bit about me...
a) I'm a 24 year-old grad student currently doing the schooling thing full-time
b) I love with anything to do with languages and linguistics (ask me about anything German!)
c) I come complete with all the usual student loan debt and the less-than-glamourous salary
d) Traveling might just be my one true obsession.
e) I'm trying to live a fun and full life on a grad student's budget.
Overall, I think I do a pretty good job of budgeting and saving already, but it will be good get my plans and ideas in order so that I can make them happen more easily.

Welcome to the PF Blogosphere Ashley! It's a great outlet for your thoughts and a wonderful resource of support.
I'll add you to my blog roll!
It's great to see someone so young already taking care of her finances! Welcome to the world of blogging :-)
Hey there, just found your blog. I totally understand all about living on the low graduate student salary. I had no debt going into graduate school and left with $32k cause I couldn't live within the low, low salary. $16k in student loans and $16k in credit card debt. So needless to say, I'm impressed with your ability to pay down debt and to save for travel and an emergency fund. Great work!
(Also, I LOVE your blog name)
Hi,
I have visited your blog (http://livinglavidabroka.blogspot.com) today and it was a wonderful experience ! I am also the webmaster of some quality finance (debt/mortgage/credit/loan/
insurance etc.) sites and that is why, the wonderful presentation of your blog have become my point of attraction. I think it would be a mutually beneficial decision for both of us to exchange some links or articles. It can help both of us to increase the number of visitors to our sites and a top ranking in google search. The ROI of our sites will also increase.
Waiting for your positive reply.
Thanks & Regards,
Maria Smith
