My name is George Tucker. I'm an average guy in most ways. My parents never taught me anything about money. I got in big credit card trouble when I was in college and very slowly and painfully had to figure personal finance out for myself.

Now I'm married, have a great job, a fabulous wife (and a new baby!), a retirement fund, no credit card debt, and extra money every month.
