I have some news to share: some good, and some bad.
Let me begin with the bad. After a whole bunch of thought and racking my brain about what my passions are, I've decided to stop posting new content to Young Adult Financial, at least for the time being. I've had a great time writing articles and (hopefully) helping people make better financial decisions, and I've especially enjoyed interacting with the different readers who have reached out to me for help, but it's time for me to take a break from this and try to apply my financial skills in other domains. I apologize for not posting more often this past month while I worked out my decision--I've been exploring all sorts of related paths, and I wanted to make sure that I really nailed down my plan before posting anything final.
Which brings me into the first bit of good news: I will be joining the Intercollegiate Finance Journal as their Head of Content, helping to make financial issues more relevant to college students. It's definitely a work-in-progress as of now, but I'm excited about the journal's leadership and its potential scope in helping students think about how financial issues affect them. If you have any ideas about how financial publications could be better suited for students, or if you'd like to get involved, please don't hesitate to contact me!
I also have a second bit of good news: I will continue checking the Young Adult Financial email address, and I am more than happy to continue talking with readers who have financial questions. As per the usual, I'm not a lawyer or certified financial adviser, so I can't promise that my thoughts are anywhere near comprehensive, but if you're just looking to talk to another young person about a financial issue that you're dealing with, I've still got your back. I plan to keep that portion running for as long as people continue to reach out, so feel more than free to send me your questions.
That's it for now. I've had a blast running the site, and I'll be leaving it up as a resource in case you ever need to refer back to it. For now, I wish you the best of luck in handling whatever financial situations may come your way!
