I came from very a very humble origin. I had lived in four different countries and spoke four different languages by the time I was thirteen. English is the most recent language I've acquired. My career has taken me to various parts of the world and across the United States. When people inquire about my occupation, I just state that I am a "Bean Counter." I graduated from Loyola Marymount University with a B.S. in Economics and a B.B.A. in International Business, as well as a USC MBA in Finance. I like sharing money-saving ideas, recipes, and tricks with others.
