The Bean Counter

Obviously, I don’t always get attacked by chipmunks, but when I do…well…you see the result.  I consider myself a world traveler.  I come from very humble beginnings.  By the age of 13, I had lived in 4 different countries and spoke 4 different languages.  English is the last language I learned.  My focus on career led me to many corners of the world and throughout the United States.  When people ask me what I do for a living, I simply tell them that I am “A Bean Counter.”  I hold a B.S. in Economics and a B.B.A. in International Business from Loyola Marymount University, and a MBA in Finance from the USC. I love sharing with people how I save money through hacks, recipes, and tricks.  I hope you enjoy the site as much as I enjoy working on it.  Please share with us your money saving hacks and ideas. We are open to suggestions, comments, and ways to improve.  Thanks!
