I was really busy during April, which unfortunately, didn’t give me much time to post on the blog. However, that didn’t keep me from making financial progress. Even though I sprung to buy some sporting event tickets and some concert tickets, I still improved my net worth by $3,000. I didn’t make an additional payment on my student loans during April, but I’ll be making one in May. I also deposited $2,500 (half of my 2011 contribution) into my Roth IRA.
I’m Will, the creator of HackingTheBank. No, this site isn’t about actually hacking banks. This blog is all about maximizing personal finance decisions so that we win instead of the banks.
I started this blog in 2010 when I graduated college with $43k of student loans and a negative net worth. Since then I’ve achieved milestones like getting married, buying a house, and tripling my income. During this time my wife and I managed to earn over 12,000,000 miles and points and used those points to travel to over 50 countries. And all of these points came from banks; neither of us travel for work.
