About Me:

Not So Mighty Merch

I know that where I am now is not where I want to be (in credit card debt and medical debt). I vaguely now where I want to be (running a small business (franchise or real estate), having more quality time with my family, and less stress or maybe different stress).

So, this is a journey from here to there. Wherever there is. Hence the title and my confusing ramblings.

I am embarrassed to say: I make more then I should and still live paycheck to paycheck, I am older and should be more mature, I am educated (MBA in Finance) and should know better, I have worked for investment houses and am unable to manage mine.

I think you get the general idea.
