Meet the Late Investor

My name is Jeff. I am a 36 year old software developer living in Las Vegas NV. I am married, and I have 2 children , 1 boy and 1 girl (twins). I know nothing about investing money. I have led a sheltered life, in a way. I have never really had, or had to have had, more than a shallow understanding of money or finances. Not because I had money, hell no! I never had any real money. I have always lived paycheck to paycheck. Sometimes I had enough, most times I didn’t. It sucks.

Like many people, I grew up without a lot of money; my mother was a single mother, raising twins herself, and while we weren’t destitute, we certainly lived below the poverty line for most of my childhood.

And, like almost everyone, I want to be rich! Not Bill gates rich (though I certainly wouldn’t turn it down), but rich enough to retire while still young enough to enjoy retirement, rich enough to pay for my kid’s college, have enough money to work for myself doing what I really want to do, instead of for someone else. Welcome to the story of how I got rich.
