Who I am

Here's what I've decided to share for now.

I am a twentysomething professional.  I could not have gotten the job I have now without having attended graduate school.  My job also requires a lot of writing (hence my reason for starting this blog.  It has absolutely nothing to do with personal finance.  While this technically makes me a trained professional, it does not make me a trained finance professional.  Any advice contained herein is all amateur advice.

I am currently living in an East Coast City and I work for the government.  For this year anyway.  I'm going to start looking for a new job for next year in January.  I am concerned this will be made more difficult because of the current state of the economy, but hopefully my time in the government will have made me valuable enough to hire.

I currently make 70k a year.

My boyfriend lives in a different city on the East Coast, within a tolerable driving distance.

I have about 50k in student loans.  I currently pay only the barest minimum on these.

I plan to return to school at a later point, and pay cash.  I'm guessing I will need between 60 and 65k for this, and saving for it is where the majority of my money is going now.

I think that's enough for now.
