It's come to my attention that maybe we haven't been properly introduced. You may have been visiting my blog for several months now, and realize you don't know anything about the genius behind CMM. Let me set the story straight.
My name is Travis. I'm a 28 year old married guy with my first baby on the way. That's right, first baby, which means all kinds of craziness. It means more money for baby, less money towards paying down debt. It means instead of having a wife working full time, she'll now be working part time. It means saying goodbye to my dream of owning a BMW, and saying hello to 200,000 miles on my Nissan Pathfinder. It means I'll no longer be called Travis, but soon I'll be called Daddy.
I work at an explosives distributor. While, that may sound exciting, it's really not. Hard to believe I went to college for 4 years to end up sitting behind a desk and answer phones for 45-50 hours a week. But, it pays the bills, and I don't hate going to work everyday, so it's really not that bad. However, I'm way more excited about my church and my Savior. He's an amazing God, and it's awesome to serve Him within a really cool church.
As far as my financial background, I wish I had a really amazing story to tell. Most financial bloggers have stories about going bankrupt and having massive amounts of credit card debt, etc, etc. I don't have those type stories. I have a dream. I dream to one day have enough money to do what I want. Work the job I want. Go on the vacation I want. Buy the car I want. Give away what I want.
This isn't really a blog about what I've learned, or how much financial knowledge I have. It's the story of a man who's trying to get to the top of the financial mountain. I hope my story will inspire you, and I hope many more of you will join me on this journey. It's not going to be easy, and I'll need all the motivation I can get.
