Why did the Engineer Cross the road?

You know what, I don't know. But, it was probably to get somewhere. Engineers usually have a purpose for things. Lately, I've been going back and forth between three books, Personal Finance in your 20's and 30's, Trinity by Leon Uris, and Introduction to Space Dynamics. I've also been going back and forth between my SpongeBob and South Park DVD's. I think all of that really sums up who I am, to some extent. It's all I've got, it's all right here!

I've been reading this financial book, and one of the first things it tells you is that when it comes to personal finance, it's yours. It's all about you, that's why it's personal. It's not about your parents, it's not about your neighbors, or whomever. It's about you, only you know what's best for you. That's been kind of a kick in the butt for me to become more responsible for my money, especially now that I'll have a job.

I don't mean that in a selfish way, but it's true. And that reasoning can be applied to your life in general. Only you know what best works for you. This last semester, I've started to make decisions for myself because your decision making can become clouded by friends, family, and whomever. Take advice from your friends and listen to what's going on around you but when it comes down to it, you're responsible for yourself. That's all I'm saying.
