I remember sitting there, head in hands, in disbelief that my bosses could be giving me such hell over a such a small mistake. It cost the company a few hundred dollars but my solid late working and relentless work ethic was saving them much more than my very occasional mistakes. After a few minutes of doing my best Klingon impression with my forehead I relaxed a little and knew where I was going. Read More

When A 3-Month Trip To Asia Turns Into 11 Years Of Travel
Without a doubt, almost nobody reading this post is going to have any idea who I am or know anything about my blog, WanderingEarl.com. Luckily, however, there is one exception and without the connection I’ve made with this one person, I would have forever remained distant from the Yakezie community.
So thank you Sam! I appreciate your support over the past few months as I struggled to find some free time to get involved over here. It says a lot about you and this community that despite my lack of participation thus far, the door was always kept open for me.
And with this post, I plan to step through that door!

If At First You Don't Succeed, There's Always Blogging
What an honor to be part of this great group of bloggers!
I suspect I am probably one of the older bloggers in the Yakezie. I am 46-years-old. I have two great kids (13 and 11) and a terrific wife (she’s 42, but let’s keep that between you and me).
I was born and raised here in the Los Angeles area.
I am electrical engineer for a very large American corporation working in research and development on proprietary high-tech cutting-edge projects. Despite the generous pay, the cyclical nature of my business has resulted in me always being very cautious about my finances. Read More
Yakezie Member Post – Eventual Millionaire
I’m Jaime and I blog at Eventual Millionaire. I’m a mom of two adorable young children and work part time as a business coach. My blog is about becoming a millionaire by getting out of debt, creating your ideal lifestyle, and making a million doing what you love. It’s not about working 60+ hours per week and never seeing your family, that’s why it’s called Eventual Millionaire.
Since I was little I have had the goal of becoming a millionaire. I want to be a millionaire not only for the money, but for the person I’ll become when I reach the goal. The challenges I have faced and will face in the future will really shape me to be a better person. The million dollars in the bank will be a great bonus.
