Welcome to New Readers!

If you’re a new reader this month here for the giveaway, or a current reader who has missed a few posts, let me introduce you to this blog! My name is Kellen and I am a 20-something public accountant, about to begin my second year as an auditor, and in my free time I am the author of Accountant by Day.

I discuss savings and finances of someone just starting out in the working world:

• I'm trying to keep my monthly food spending to under $300 (including eating out!) Inspiration: The Saved Quarter, who can feed her whole family healthy food on food stamps
• I'm saving up to buy my first house! Inspiration: RetireBy40, who is building passive income by purchasing rental property

I’m working on building a successful career

• I'm thinking about how to find the ideal career Inspiration: KrantCents, who is happily working on his 8th career! Inspiration: NicoleAndMaggie who are tenure track professors - something I'm thinking about doing later on
• I post about daily life of an accountant Inspiration: Krupo, who write about being a CA.

I write about my day-to-day life as a 20-something making her way through the world:

• Walking my dog
• Living with roommates
• Things that confound me about babies Inspiration: MutantSupermodel, who has it way harder than I do Inspiration: FrugalBeautiful, another 20-something female blogger

So welcome to the site, take a look around, and enjoy! Enter the giveaway for a chance to win a $25 amazon giftcard next Monday!
