My first entry and purpose of this blog

Welcome to my blog.  This site will be devoted to thriving in the middle class.  You will find tips and suggestions on what you can do to improve the life you are living in the middle class.  A lot of the content will be based on personal finance (since our income is what determines our classification in society it seems only appropriate.)  Other information will be personal development in nature.  Finally I would love to have discussions regarding what each one of us can do politically to influence our demographic and leverage a better life for us and our children.  I want to keep the political chatter positive.  We can discuss what is wrong with the issues we are facing today as long as we also discuss or offer positive solutions to the problems.  Please share any topics of discussion you would like to see and I will do my best to keep the discussion going.  Check out the “about me” portion of the page to learn more about me.
