Yannick's Confession
Hello, this is Yannick. I am glad that I will be the first to cheer for my dear wife Jacqui. I am the one who had been a graduate student for 9 years. Stipends were not much, however, enough for a happy student for so many years.

"Knowledge is power". I learned these words of Sir Francis Bacon in elementary school and had thought that I was pretty powerful in all aspects of my personal life. Yet, it was until three years ago that I started to realize that I was really powerless in terms of finance, ie. had almost zero knowledge in personal finance.

So what did a "professional" student do? Right, started reading about personal finance, even in a busy graduate student's schedule.

Jacqui really encouraged me and introduced me to audible.com, where I got tens of wonderful books, not limited to finance topics. I highly recommend it besides financial blogs. :-)
