I am a gal who is passionate about personal finance.  I’m not talking about stocks and bonds and mutual funds.  I’m here to reach the people that are ready and willing to learn about basic finances.  I started working in the financial industry as a part-time teller in 2008.  My college degree is in Personal Financial Planning, and I’ve been working in the financial industry ever since!  I can’t tell you how many times I talk with people and I hear “No one ever taught me this!”  Well, I started this blog to share the knowledge that I have gained throughout my life so far in hopes to help as many people as I can with their financial confidence.

I was inspired by the movie “Confessions of a Shopaholic” to name this blog.  I love this movie and just adore the actresses Isla Fischer and Krysten Ritter.  In the movie, the main character is a writer who starts writing for a finance magazine with a pen name The Girl in the Green Scarf.  I am not a professional writer, but I do enjoy it!  

XOXO, The Girl in the Green Sweater
